Hip joint is a ball and socket synovial joint designed for multi-axial movement, hence our hips are mobile joints and stiffness in the hips may present as a source of pain and discomfort in the body.
The hip is also surrounded by articular cartilage that allows the hip joint to rotate and glide within its socket which allows for the large degree of range of motion in our hip joints.
Hip pain is a common complaint among individuals of all ages. This pain can be challenging to diagnose as there are many differential diagnoses that include intra articular and extra articular pathologies and these vary by age. Hip is a complex joint and depending on which part of the hip and which structures are affected, the symptoms can vary.
