Hip Pain

Why Hip Pain

Hip pain can be difficult to accurately diagnose. Pain from the hip can be felt in the groin, buttock, side of the hip, and can even be felt radiating down the thigh to the knee.

Osteoarthritis (degeneration of the joint cartilage surfaces) is common in later stages and can be seen on x-ray.

Other causes of pain include:

  • acetabular labral tears
  • femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI)
  • loose bodies
  • synovial chondromatosis
  • ligamentum teres tears
  • gluteus medius tendonitis/tears
  • trochanteric bursitis
  • piriformis syndrome
  • psoas bursitis
  • tendon snapping syndromes
  • osteoarthritis
  • synovitis

Rehabilitation

Completing a rehabilitation program will provide you with the best possible result post surgery.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in your hip arthroscopy rehabilitation and there are specific exercises you need to follow in the post operative period.

Hip Arthroscopy Australia run courses for physiotherapy post operative protocols. Your local physiotherapist may have attended one of these courses and can assist in your rehabilitation.

Our goal at Hip Arthroscopy Australia, is to provide expert advice, intervention (if required) and rehabilitation advice/guidance to you and your physiotherapist.

Information on trained physiotherapists can be obtained from our reception staff upon request.

FAQ

Everyone is slightly different in their response to the surgery. The majority feel good enough to walk the next day, with crutches for support. Where bone is removed, it is a good idea to only put a small amount of weight on the leg, and use crutches while it is still painful.
