Femoral Acetabular Impingement
In femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), bone spurs develop around the femoral head and/or along the acetabulum. The bone overgrowth causes the hip bones to hit against each other, rather than to move smoothly.
Gluteal Tendinosis
Gluteal tendinosis may seem to happen suddenly, but usually it is the result of many tiny tears to the tendon that have happened over time.
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome, also known as GTPS, is a common hip condition.
Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
When the bursa (fluid-filled sac near a joint) at the lateral point of the hip is inflamed or swollen and you are experiencing pain in the hip region, you could be suffering from trochanteric bursitis.
Gluteus Medius Dysfunction
Anatomically the Gluteus Medius is a broad fan shaped muscle originating from the rim of the pelvis (Iliac crest) and inserting with a tendon to the greater trochanter. Usually referred to as a tendonopathy or tendonosis, gluteus medius dysfunction is characterized as a chronic degeneration or tear of the tendon.
Hip Effusion
Many kinds of arthritis can affect the hip joint but by far the most common is osteoarthritis which some people call “degenerative joint disease.”
Hip Labral Tear
A hip labral tear involves the ring of soft elastic tissue, called the labrum, that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Many kinds of arthritis can affect the hip joint but by far the most common is osteoarthritis of the hip, which some people call “degenerative joint disease.”
Iliopsoas Bursitis
Bursitis could be explained as an inflammation of the bursa that is a sac filled with fluid adjacent to the joints that acts like a cushion for the joint. The largest bursa of the body is known as iliopsoas bursa which is located between the front side of the joint of the hip and the iliopsoas muscle, i.e. a hip flexor.
Iliopsoas Tendinitis
Iliopsoas tendonitis refers to inflammation of the iliopsoas muscle and can also affect the bursa located underneath the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle.
Ischiofemoral Impingement
Ischiofemoral impingement is a syndrome defined by hip pain associated with narrowing of the space between ischial tuberosity and lesser trochanter.
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis is a muscle in the back of the thigh by the buttocks. Piriformis syndrome refers to the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve.
Sacroiliac Arthritis
Sacroiliac arthritis refers to degeneration of the cartilage at the joint on either side of your lower back where the sacrum meets the ilium.
Sacroiliac Dysfunction
Whenever an SI joint is irritated or injured, the resultant sacroiliac joint dysfunction may cause pain in the lower back and legs.
Sacroiliitis
“Sacroilitis” is often used interchangeably with sacroiliac arthritis however sacroilitis can sometimes denote more acute active inflammation from an inflammatory arthritis such as ankylosing spondylitis rather than chronic cartilage degeneration from osteoarthritis.
