Hip Osteoarthritis

Hip Osteoarthritis

What is it?

It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the end of your hip bones thins down. In more severe case, there may be damages to the hip bones. Many conditions can mimic Runner’s/ Cyclist’s Knee such as sacroiliac joint dysfunction, trochanteric bursitis and sciatica. Therefore, a detailed examination is important to find the root cause of the problem.

What are the common causes?
  • Repetitive and heavy loading to hip structure such as manual labor and high impact sport
  • Previous hip trauma, such as injury of fracture
  • Sedentary lifestyle
What are the main symptoms?
  • Hip pain
  • Clicking, popping and grating sensation in hip
  • Stiffness in hip

What happens if you leave it untreated?

Generally, the longer you have had the injury, the longer it will take to recover. Most of the time, you may assume things will get better by themselves with enough rest. But this is rarely the case, especially if your pain or other symptoms are stopping you from doing what you normally able to do. So, take action and get back doing what you love as soon as possible.
