Common hip injuries we treat include:

Hip Pain

It is important to be seen immediately for persistent hip pain as this can be the sign of an underlying injury such as a ligament, tendon or bone injury or arthritis.

Hip Fractures

Hip fractures are often the result of a fall onto the hip which causes a break in the bone in the upper part of the leg, known as the femur.  The severity of the fracture can vary based on the strength of the bone as well as the force of impact that caused the fracture. If any portion of the bone is visible outside of the skin, please go to nearest Emergency Room.  Common symptoms of a hip fracture include pain, bruising or a visible deformity under the skin.

Hip Dislocation

The hip is a ball and socket joint and a hip dislocation occurs when the head of the femur (the ball) is moved outside of the socket in the hip.  This usually occurs as the result of a fall or sudden impact and symptoms can include pain, bruising or a visible deformity under the skin.

Hip Labral Tears

The socket of the hip joint is lined with a ring of cartilage, known as the labrum, which provides stability to the hip joint.  Damage to this cartilage can often occur as the result of a sudden impact or forceful change in the direction of the hip.  The severity of the damage to the labrum can vary, but common symptoms include pain in the hip or groin, stiffness or a feeling of locking in the hip joint.
