The “ball” is the head of the femur or thighbone, and the “socket” is the cup-shaped acetabulum. The joint surface is covered by a smooth articular surface that allows pain-free movement in the joint.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A hip fracture is a break that occurs near the hip in the upper part of the femur or thighbone. The thighbone has two bony processes on the upper part - the greater and lesser trochanters. The lesser trochanter projects from the base of the femoral neck on the back of the thighbone. Hip fractures can occur either due to a break in the femoral neck, in the area between the greater and lesser trochanter or below the lesser trochanter.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Causes of Hip Fractures</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Hip fracture is most frequently caused after minor trauma in elderly patients with weak bones, and by high-energy trauma or serious injuries in the young.

It is most frequently caused after minor trauma in elderly patients, and by a high-energy trauma or serious injury in young people. Long-term use of certain medicines, such as bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases, can increase the risk of hip fractures.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Bursitis</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is a painful condition caused by inflammation of a bursa in the hip. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs present in joints between bone and soft tissue to reduce friction and provide cushioning during movement. The bony prominence of the hip is called the greater trochanter and is present on the outer side of the femur. The bursa overlying it is called the trochanteric bursa. Another bursa is located towards the groin region and is called the iliopsoas bursa. Trochanteric bursitis is the more common of the two conditions.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Dislocation</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This occurs when the head of the femur moves out of the socket. The femoral head can dislocate either backward (posterior dislocation) or forward (anterior dislocation). Hip dislocation can be caused by injuries from motor vehicle accidents or severe falls.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Labral tear</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is an injury to the labrum, the cartilage that surrounds the outside rim of your hip joint socket.

It is most frequently caused after minor trauma in elderly patients, and by a high-energy trauma or serious injury in young people. Long-term use of certain medicines, such as bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases, can increase the risk of hip fractures.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Bursitis</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is a painful condition caused by inflammation of a bursa in the hip. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs present in joints between bone and soft tissue to reduce friction and provide cushioning during movement. The bony prominence of the hip is called the greater trochanter and is present on the outer side of the femur. The bursa overlying it is called the trochanteric bursa. Another bursa is located towards the groin region and is called the iliopsoas bursa. Trochanteric bursitis is the more common of the two conditions.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Dislocation</h3>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This occurs when the head of the femur moves out of the socket.

The onset is normally gradual with athletes complaining of dull aching pain over the symphysis with occasionally radiating to lower abdomen, scrotum, testicles, and perineum.</li><li><strong>Adductor Strains</strong>: In athletes, strains of the adductor muscles are the most common cause of acute groin pain. Strains are common with sudden eccentric loading with the adductor longus muscle being the most frequently affected muscle. The significant risk factor for adductor strains is prior injuries with 32% to 44% of injuries being classified as recurrent.</li><li><strong>Sports Hernia</strong>: This is a condition caused by weakening of the posterior inguinal wall muscle leading to an occult direct or indirect hernia. Since only the posterior inguinal wall muscle is affected, no clinically detectable inguinal hernia is noted. However, there will be gradually worsening diffuse and deep groin pain.</li><li><strong>Iliopsoas Bursitis/Strains</strong>: This condition is characterized by swelling and inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sac) present at the front of the hip. It commonly occurs in sports requiring extensive use of hip flexors such as uphill running, soccer, jumping, hurdling, ballet. The condition causes deep groin pain, sometimes radiating to the thigh or anterior hip, often accompanied by a snapping sensation.</li><li><strong>Stress Fractures</strong>: Pubic bone fractures and femoral (thighbone) neck stress fractures are the two most commonly noted stress fractures centered around the groin area. This is caused by repetitive overuse and overload as seen in distance runners. Contributing risk factors include muscle fatigue, sudden increase in training regimen, changes in training surface or footgear, or osteoporosis in female athletes with hormonal or nutritional imbalances.</li><li><strong>Avulsion Fractures:</strong>&nbsp;These fractures are commonly noted in adolescent athletes involved in sports such as soccer, jumping, sprinting, and hurdling. These fractures occur when the tendons that connect muscles to bone are torn at the connection site resulting in muscle weakness and pain.</li><li><strong>Inguinal Hernia</strong>: This type of injury is mostly found in weightlifters. It occurs when the lower abdominal muscles tear or stretch resulting in the formation of a bulge in the groin area as the abdominal organs push through or press against the weakened muscles causing pain, pulling, or dragging sensation in the groin when lifting, stretching, or bending over.</li></ul>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Diagnosis</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The diagnosis of groin disorders involves the following steps:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li>Subjective examination that includes complete medical history, past treatment, nature of the injury, etc.</li><li>Physical examination<ul><li>Observational evaluation of sitting and standing posture, gait patterns, muscle wasting, leg length discrepancy, etc.</li><li>Range of motion tests</li><li>Palpation</li><li>Ligament stress tests</li></ul></li><li>Muscle testing</li><li>Neural tests</li><li>Imaging</li></ul>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Treatment&nbsp;</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Groin injuries are known to respond well to RICE protocol, i.e., Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation; hence, providing adequate rest to the affected muscle, application of ice, use of compression bandages, and elevating the affected groin area helps in reducing pain, swelling, and stabilizing the injured area.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The treatment of groin injuries includes various modalities of physical therapy and rehabilitation programs such as strengthening program and sport-specific training.

The ball-and-socket joint of the hip is formed by the round end of the femur (thighbone) and the cup-shaped socket of the acetabulum (part of the pelvis). Stability of the hip joint is achieved by the labrum (a strong fibrous cartilage that covers the acetabulum and seals it), ligaments (tissues connecting bone to bone) and tendons (tissues connecting muscle to bone) that encase the hip and support the hip movements.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":602,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://www.academyorthopedics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/snapping-hip-syndrome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-602\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column --></div>\n<!-- /wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>What is Snapping Hip Syndrome?</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Snapping hip syndrome is a condition in which you hear or feel a snapping sound in the hip when you swing your legs, run, walk or get up from a chair. The sound can be experienced in the back, front or side of the hip.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Symptoms of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Snapping hip syndrome is usually harmless, but may be accompanied with pain and weakness. Sometimes, the syndrome can lead to bursitis, a painful swelling of the fluid-filled sacs called bursae that cushion the hip joint.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Causes of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The movement of muscles or tendons over a bony protrusion in the hip region gives rise to the snapping sound. The most common cause of snapping hip syndrome is tightness in the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip. Sometimes, a loose piece of cartilage, a cartilage tear or pieces of broken cartilage or bone in the joint space can cause the snapping sound. This may also lock the hip, causing disability along with the pain. However, this is less common. Sports or dance activities that involve repeated bending make you vulnerable to snapping hip syndrome. It may affect your performance.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Diagnosis of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and conduct a physical examination to detect the exact cause of snapping. You may be required to reproduce the snapping sound by moving your hip in different directions. Imaging tests may be ordered by your doctor to rule out bone and joint problems.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Treatments for Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Rest and modification of activities may be suggested initially by your doctor followed by conservative therapeutic options.

The type of surgery will depend on the factors that cause the syndrome. Surgical procedures include:</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Open procedure</strong>: An open incision of several centimeters will be made to resolve the issue of snapping hip.

The ball-and-socket joint of the hip is formed by the round end of the femur (thighbone) and the cup-shaped socket of the acetabulum (part of the pelvis). Stability of the hip joint is achieved by the labrum (a strong fibrous cartilage that covers the acetabulum and seals it), ligaments (tissues connecting bone to bone) and tendons (tissues connecting muscle to bone) that encase the hip and support the hip movements.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":602,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://www.academyorthopedics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/snapping-hip-syndrome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-602\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column --></div>\n<!-- /wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>What is Snapping Hip Syndrome?</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Snapping hip syndrome is a condition in which you hear or feel a snapping sound in the hip when you swing your legs, run, walk or get up from a chair. The sound can be experienced in the back, front or side of the hip.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Symptoms of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Snapping hip syndrome is usually harmless, but may be accompanied with pain and weakness. Sometimes, the syndrome can lead to bursitis, a painful swelling of the fluid-filled sacs called bursae that cushion the hip joint.&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Causes of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The movement of muscles or tendons over a bony protrusion in the hip region gives rise to the snapping sound. The most common cause of snapping hip syndrome is tightness in the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip. Sometimes, a loose piece of cartilage, a cartilage tear or pieces of broken cartilage or bone in the joint space can cause the snapping sound. This may also lock the hip, causing disability along with the pain. However, this is less common. Sports or dance activities that involve repeated bending make you vulnerable to snapping hip syndrome. It may affect your performance.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Diagnosis of Snapping Hip Syndrome</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and conduct a physical examination to detect the exact cause of snapping.

It occurs most often in older people. This disease affects the tissue covering the ends of bones in a joint (cartilage).In a person with osteoarthritis, the cartilage becomes damaged and worn out causing pain, swelling, stiffness and restricted movement in the affected joint. This condition most commonly affects the joints in the hips, knees, hands, and spine. Rarely, the disease may affect the shoulders, wrists, and feet.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Causes and risk factors</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Osteoarthritis is caused by the wearing out of the cartilage covering the bone ends in a joint. This may be due to being overweight, excessive strain over prolonged periods of time, previous fracture, growth abnormalities, joint diseases, injury or deformity.<br>Some people have congenital abnormalities of the joints that cause early degeneration and subsequently cause osteoarthritis.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Diagnosis</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Doctors diagnose osteoarthritis with a medical history, a physical examination and X-rays of the affected joint. During the physical examination, your doctor will examine the affected joint for swelling, pain, tenderness, and assess the joint’s range of motion. An X-ray of the knee may show a loss of the joint space and bone spur formation.&nbsp;<br>There is no blood test for osteoarthritis.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column {\"width\":\"33.33%\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":609,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://www.academyorthopedics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/knee-osteoarthritis.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image --></div>\n<!-- /wp:column --></div>\n<!-- /wp:columns -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Treatment</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There is no known cure for osteoarthritis.
