Lemak Hip Diagnosis

The three most common ailments or injury that occur to the hip are fracture, arthritis, and  overuse injuries such as bursitis.

Hip fractures often occur, but have been more closely linked recently to osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, also commonly called degenerative joint disease, it is the most common form of arthritis, and affects more than 20 million Americans. The disease gradually wears away the protective covering of the joint ends articular cartilage). Once the cartilage wears away, it typically does not regenerate, leaving the individual with painful bone on bone contact.

Over use injuries occur from repeating the same activity. The repeated activity stresses the hip joint, and often causes irritation. Examples of overuse injuries are irritation of the large sac that separates the hipbones from the muscles and tendons of the thighs and buttocks which are referred to as trochanteric bursitis, and irritation of the tendons in the hip causing tendinitis.
