Pain in the hip
Classification:
The hip joint is the largest body and occupies a central position in the musculoskeletal system. A large part of the body’s weight is constantly loaded on it. Its integrity and its perfect functioning are essential not only to be able to walk correctly, but also to maintain physiological postures while sitting and lying down and carry out movements of flexion and torsion of the torso, lifting, extension, rotation, abduction and adduction of the legs and, more generally, all movements that more or less directly involve the pelvis, the abdominal and pelvic area and the lower back of hipdips. The appearance of significant pain in the hip therefore always has disabling effects, considerably limiting the possibility of dedicating oneself to usual activities and causing a serious decline in the quality of life.
Hippain can occur at any age for the most diverse causes. In children, teenagers and young adults, the problem is mostly determined by the presence of congenital defects or by acute trauma or wear , especially in those who practice sports that put stress on the joint (artistic gymnastics, skating, synchronized swimming, classical dance, etc.) or which expose you to a high risk of falls or accidents involving abnormal twisting of the thigh (skiing, snow boarding, ice hockey, gymnastics with equipment, jumping, etc.). In adulthood, especially after the age of 50-60, problems related to osteoarthritis are in most cases causing pain in the hip. of the two main components of the joint, namely the surface of the femoral head and that of the acetabulum that accommodates it. Later, generally after the age of 65-70, a fairly frequent problem affecting the hip joint is the fracture , which occurs mainly in women with severe osteoporosis, following minor trauma or spontaneously.
In addition to these more frequent and easily recognizable causes, the onset of hip pain can depend on countless other more or less severe pathologies, affecting the joint with hipdips, neighboring organs or systemic, which require targeted, sometimes urgent treatment. , to be defined on the basis of an accurate clinical and instrumental evaluation. For this reason, at any age, any new non-trivial painful form in the hip area must be brought to the attention of the doctor and specified with the appropriate diagnostic investigations. In this regard, it should be considered that, at times, a pain that seems to affect the hip joint is actually linked to problems affecting other organs.

Possible causes of hip pain
In addition to osteoarthritis and arthritis of various origins, trauma and fractures, among the countless causes of hip pain we can mention:
bursitis, tendons and inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding and articulating the femoral head and acetabulum;
ankylosing spondylitis (genetic inflammatory rheumatic disease affecting the sacral tract of the spine, causing bone changes and pain radiating to the buttocks and leg);
arthritis associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease);
inflammation of the sciatic nerve (especially if it also involves the nerves that depart from the lumbar vertebrae, towards the pelvis and legs);
inflammation of the cutaneous lateral femoral nerve (frequent in pregnancy, in those suffering from diabetes and in those who habitually wear very tight clothes at the pelvis and thighs);
presence of an inguinal or femoral hernia;
fibromyalgia (syndrome characterized by the presence of widespread muscle pain and hipdips, cramps, sleep disturbances and severe fatigue)
viral or bacterial inflammation and infections of the hip joint hipdips:
sickle cell anemia (severe inherited anemia in which red blood cells take on a sickle shape);
femoral head necrosis (degeneration of the bone and surrounding structures that can arise due to impaired vascularization, as a result of an improperly resolved fracture / dislocation or even as an adverse event of some therapies, such as radiotherapy in the area of the pelvis or high-dose corticosteroid intake; in childhood, it is the main manifestation of Perthes disease);
presence of a primary or metastatic bone neoplasm.
It should be noted that, if the hip pain depends on diseases not primarily related to the joint or which also involve other organs or systems, as a rule, other more or less specific symptoms are also present that lead to consult a doctor.
