Study Notes

Hip Conditions - Findings and Associated Conditions

  • Dull, aching pain: Apophysitis (especially in younger individuals) or Osteitis pubis (especially in skeletally mature athletes, and ice sports enthusiasts)

  • Skeletally mature athletes and ice sports: Osteitis pubis is a possible cause of pain.

  • Younger patients: Apophysitis is a possible cause of pain.

  • Older patients: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a possible cause of pain. Excess body mass and a family history can increase the likelihood of OA pain.

  • Endurance athletes and females: Stress fractures are possible causes of pain, as is lean mass.

  • Increased training load and increased activity: This aggravates stress fractures.

  • Prolonged sitting: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a possible cause of pain aggravated by prolonged sitting.

  • Running and cutting movements: Hip sprains are possible causes of pain aggravated by running and cutting motions.

  • Pain moving from flexion to extension: FAI and labral tear can cause such pain.

  • Pain moving from extension to flexion: Osteoarthritis is a likely cause of pain.

  • Pain with extension and rotation: Hip sprain

  • Flexion and extension equally limited: Stress fracture

  • Morning pain: Osteoarthritis is a possible cause.

  • Night pain: Avulsion fracture, stress fracture, osteoarthritis.

  • Deep, aching pain: Stress Fractures, Sprains.

  • Achy, sharp pain: Osteoarthritis.

  • Coughing, sneezing, bearing down aggravates pain: Iliac crest contusion.

  • Associated with meralgia paraesthetica: Iliac crest contusion.

  • Sharp, aching pain, extremely tender on palpation, possible deformity: Avulsion fracture.

  • Crepitus: Iliac crest fracture, osteoarthritis.

  • Clicking and grinding: Osteoarthritis.

  • Catching, popping: Labral tear

  • Instability: Osteoarthritis, FAI, and labral tear

  • Localized pain: FAI.

  • Pain all around the joint: Osteoarthritis.

  • Asymptomatic: Apophysitis, and FAI

  • Pain/weakness with hip adduction, trunk flexion, hip abduction, and single-leg stance: Osteitis pubis

  • Pinching sensation with hip movement: FAI.

  • Tenderness at lower adductors, lower rectus abdominis: Osteitis pubis

  • Hip rotation: hip sprain

  • Bone-to-bone end feel: FAI

Key Features and Symptoms for Diagnosing Hip Conditions

  • Different characteristics of pain (dull, aching, sharp, deep, etc.) and location matter for accurate diagnosis.
  • Activities that exacerbate the pain provide clues to potential causes (e.g., prolonged sitting and FAI; running and cutting and hip sprains).
  • Range of motion limitations suggest underlying issues (e.g., flexion-extension limitations and stress fractures, sprains, osteoarthritis; restricted extension/flexion with FAI or labral tears)
  • Associated symptoms (e.g., clicking, popping, instability, etc.) can help pinpoint specific conditions.
