Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition characterized by excessive friction in the hip joint from the presence of bony irregularities. These cause pain and decreased range of hip motion.
Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. It occurs most often in the elderly. This disease affects the tissue covering the ends of bones in a joint called cartilage.
Hip rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the hip joint, known as the synovium. This immune response causes inflammation that can gradually damage cartilage, bone, and surrounding soft tissues.
Avascular necrosis, also called osteonecrosis, is a condition in which bone death occurs because of inadequate blood supply to it. Lack of blood flow may occur when there is a fracture in the bone or a joint dislocation that may damage nearby blood vessels.
Hip dysplasia is a medical condition where the acetabulum (hip socket) does not fully cover the ball-like head at the top of the femur (thighbone). Most people who have hip dysplasia are born with it.
Post-traumatic hip arthritis is a type of arthritis that develops in the hip joint after an injury to the hip. Damage from fractures, dislocations, or severe ligament injuries can affect the cartilage and joint structure.
