Hip Osteoarthritis treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

Hip wear describes the progressive deterioration of the cartilage and other structures of the hip joint, which reduces the natural cushioning between the bones and can cause discomfort over time.

Common symptoms:

• Pain in the groin, thigh, or hip area
• Stiffness, especially when starting to move
• Difficulty walking long distances or climbing stairs

Associated factors: age, excess weight, prior injuries, and heavy use of the joint can contribute.

Specialists who are involved: the orthopedist or trauma surgeon evaluates the joint, with support from imaging by the radiologist, and the physical therapist takes part in rehabilitation. If hip pain limits your daily activities, it is worth discussing it with a professional who can examine your case.
