AI Article Synopsis
- A variety of disorders, not just those related to the hip itself, can lead to hip pain, making diagnosis difficult for orthopedic surgeons.
- Proper diagnosis is crucial, as overlooking hip pathologies can lead to delayed treatment and longer recovery times for patients.
- A systematic investigation strategy, including patient history and thorough clinical examinations, alongside conservative treatments and selective injections, has been effective in managing hip pain.
Article Abstract
A wide number of disorders, including pathologies outside the hip, can cause and refer pain to hip. However, determining the cause of a painful hip can be a major challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Failure to diagnose and appropriately investigate pathologies of the hip in adults may result in delayed management and prolonged patient morbidity. A systematic approach to investigating the etiology of hip pain in adults (e.g., history, careful clinical and radiographic examination), will help identify the majority of clinically important pathologies which can cause hip pain. Conservative treatment and selective use of injection therapies has proven quite successful for the treatment of most causes of hip pain.
