The hip joint is the joint near your pelvis that supports the weight of your body. It also helps you retain balance as you move around. The hip joint is one of the largest joints in the body. It is vulnerable to injuries and a condition called osteoarthritis, which is caused by normal wear and tear on the joint..
Symptoms of common hip problems include:
- Pain
- Loss of motion of the hip
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Difficulty walking
If you have hip problems, your doctor may refer you to an orthopedic specialist. Orthopedics [awr-thuh-pee-diks] is the branch of medicine that treats injuries or other problems with the bones, joints, or muscles in your body.
To diagnose your hip problem, your doctor will do an examination and discuss your symptoms. Your doctor may also order imaging studies, such as x-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans to further investigate the problem.
