Hip conditions refer to various medical issues affecting the hip joint, which connects the thigh bone to the pelvis. Common conditions include hip osteoarthritis, where the cartilage wears down, causing pain and stiffness, and hip bursitis, an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint. These conditions can result from age, injury, or repetitive activities. Symptoms of hip conditions often include pain in the hip or groin area, difficulty walking, and reduced range of motion. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or, in severe cases, surgery.
