About the Hip & Hip Injuries

The hip is one of the largest weight-bearing joints in the body. This ball-and-socket joint is located where the pelvis and thigh bone meet and consists of two main parts: the femoral head and the acetabulum. Ligaments connect the ball to the socket and stabilize the hip. The hip is then surrounded by large muscles that enable movement and support the joint.

Injury to any part of the hip can be extremely painful and can cause serious problems with mobility, affecting the functionality of the joint. Our team takes on cases involving hip injuries such as:

• Sprains and strains
• Bursitis
• Hip dislocation
• Osteoporosis
• Hip fractures
• Extracapsular fractures
• Intracapsular fractures
• Transcervical fractures
• Intertrocanteric fractures
• Subcapital fractures
• Subtrocanteric fractures
• Arthritis in the hip (caused by an accident and resulting injury)
