Hip Joint Pain
What is Hip Joint?
The hip joint is the largest
ball-and-socket synovial joint in our body and also one of the largest
weight-bearing joints of the body. This ball-and-socket joint helps you move
your legs during everyday activities such as walking and climbing up and down
the stairs. The hip joint consists of two main parts: Femoral head and
Acetabulum.
Femoral Head:
It is the ball of the joint or the
ball-shaped piece of bone at the top of the femur. It is almost spherical in
shape and surrounded by articular cartilage all around. The femoral head size
may range from 40 to 60 mm in diameter and varies with body mass. The thickness
of the articular cartilage is about 4 mm superiorly and tapers to 3 mm at the
periphery.

Acetabulum:
Acetabulum is a socket (concave
depression) on the lower side of the pelvis where the femoral head fits into
the acetabulum to form the hip joint. The ball is connected to the socket with
bands of tissue called ligaments, which help in stabilizing the hip.
The femur is the longest and heaviest
bone in the human body. It consists of a Proximal end, Shaft, Distal end. The
socket of the hip joint called acetabulum is formed from parts of the ilium,
ischium, and pubis.
Underlying Causes of Hip Joint Pain:
Hip joint pain is sore and most common
in middle-aged women, however, the younger people are no exception to it and
are equally affected these days. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are
among the most common causes of hip pain, especially in older adults aged 55
and above.
Navigation Joint Surgeon uses special
instruments which are attached to the patients. Using the surgical navigation
system (camera), the location and the movement of the patient’s knee/hip is
tracked and navigated throughout the surgery. The system provides a feedback of
the instrument location which is particularly useful in situations especially
in minimally invasive surgeries where the surgeon cannot see the tip of the
instrument.
