Condition Anatomy
Hip Cartilage lines the femoral head and acetabulum, enabling smooth hip motion and shock absorption.
Understanding the Injury
Hip Cartilage damage often occurs due to Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), trauma, instability, or dysplasia.
Changes may develop silently until pain and stiffness become limiting.
Symptoms include: groin pain, reduced range of motion, clicking, and pain with sitting or rotation.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Initial Management includes:
Surgical Treatment Options
Surgical Treatment focuses on correcting underlying mechanics and addressing cartilage damage to slow joint degeneration.
Special Considerations (Pediatrics or Unique Cases)
Early diagnosis in young adults is critical to prevent early arthritis.
Recovery Expectations
Recovery depends on severity and intervention type, ranging from 6 Weeks to Several Months.
When to See an Orthopedic Surgeon
Persistent hip pain or motion restriction warrants early evaluation.
