What Causes Hip Arthritis?
Hip arthritis occurs when the protective cartilage in the joint wears down, leading to pain and stiffness. The most common types include:
Osteoarthritis (OA) – Age-related wear and tear causing cartilage loss and joint pain.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – An autoimmune condition leading to joint inflammation and damage.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Arthritis that develops after a hip injury, such as a fracture or dislocation.
Is It Time to See a Specialist?
If hip pain is limiting your daily life, it’s important to seek help. Signs you may need to see a hip specialist include:
Pain or stiffness that worsens with activity.
Swelling or tenderness that persists despite rest.
Difficulty walking, standing, or getting in and out of a car.
Pain in the groin, thigh, or buttock that spreads down the leg.
Limited range of motion or hip stiffness after sitting.
