Hip Injuries
The hip is a large weight bearing joint but is susceptible to injury from sports and tasks that involve repetition and rotation in weight bearing.
A number of injuries arise from overloading of the structures around the hip. These can include bursitis, tendinopathies and greater trochanteric pain.
​
In younger patients the rim of cartilage or labrum can be an issue or a common sporting injury termed hip impingement. In older athletes Osteoarthritis can cause pain and limitations.
