Paget's disease, enlarged or deformed bones of the hip, a genetic disorder; pain is usually in both hips simultaneously.

Pes anserine bursitis may result from stress, overuse, obesity and trauma to this area. An occurrence of pes anserine bursitis commonly is characterized by pain at the medial knee and upper ...
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint. [ 1 ] It is a common cause of hip pain and discomfort in young and middle-aged adults. [ 2 ] It occurs when the ball shaped femoral head contacts the acetabulum abnormally or does not permit a ...
evaluate hip joint. Patrick's test or FABER test is performed to evaluate pathology of the hip joint or the sacroiliac joint. [1] The test is performed by having the tested leg flexed and the thigh abducted and externally rotated. If pain is elicited on the ipsilateral side anteriorly, it is suggestive of a hip joint disorder on the same side.
Ischiofemoral ligament. The ischiofemoral ligament (ischiocapsular ligament or ischiocapsular band) consists of a triangular band of strong fibers on the posterior side of the hip joint. [1] It is one of the four ligaments that reinforce the hip joint. It attaches to the posterior surface of the acetabular rim and acetabular labrum, and extends ...
