Understanding the Hip Joint

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the femoral head (thighbone) and the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis. Strong muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons help the hip bear weight, provide stability, and enable a broad range of motion essential for daily activities.

Because the hip endures significant stress with everyday movement, it can be affected by degenerative changes, structural defects, traumatic injury, overuse, or inflammation. Early evaluation helps pinpoint the cause of pain and guide the best care, improving outcomes for injured workers and patients seeking specialized orthopedic services.
