Experiencing hip pain? The hip is one of the largest weight-bearing joints in the body. When it’s working properly, it lets you walk, sit, bend, and turn without pain. Unlike the shoulder, the hip sacrifices degree of movement for additional stability. To keep it moving smoothly, a complex network of bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons must all work in harmony.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur articulates with the cup-like acetabulum of the pelvic bone. The acetabulum fits tightly around the head of the femur. The ball is normally held in the socket by very powerful ligaments that form a complete sleeve around the joint (the joint capsule). The capsule has a delicate lining (the synovium). The head of the femur is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage which is a fairly soft, white substance. The socket is also lined with cartilage. This cartilage cushions the hip joint and allows the bones to move on each other with very little friction.

An x-ray of the hip joint usually shows a “space” between the ball and the socket because the cartilage does not show up on x-rays. In the normal hip, this “joint space” is approximately 1/4 inch wide and fairly even in outline.

The highly qualified orthopedic surgeons and physiatrists at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of hip pain and disorders. Our physicians have expertise in non-surgical care using conservative comprehensive care such as physical therapy, interventional care, and injections. If surgery is necessary, our board-certified surgeons have advanced training in hip procedures, including hip replacement.
