Hip Conditions

A hip labral tear is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage that surrounds the outside rim of your hip joint socket.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition characterized by excessive friction in the hip joint from the presence of bony irregularities. These cause pain and decreased range of hip motion.

Hip bursitis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of a bursa in the hip. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs present in the joints between bone and soft tissue to reduce friction and provide cushioning during movement. Bursae are located throughout the body and musculoskeletal system.

Iliopsoas tendonitis also referred to as snapping hip syndrome, is an inflammation of the iliopsoas tendon or the surrounding area. The iliopsoas is the hip flexor tendon located over the front of the hip socket.

Injury or damage to these structures can lead to a condition called hip instability when the joint becomes unstable.

Groin injuries are injuries sustained by athletes during sports activity. Groin injuries comprise about 2 to 5 percent of all sports injuries.

Hip adductors are the group of muscles on the inner side of your thigh that enable adduction or the ability to bring the thighs together.

The hamstring is a group of three muscles that run along the back of the thigh from the hip to the knee. Hamstring injuries occur when these muscles are strained or pulled.
