What is Hip Osteoarthritis?

• Hip arthritis is the second most common form of
  osteoarthritis experienced by older adults around
  the world. Being a progressing disorder,
  osteoarthritis gradually worsens over time,
  slowly damaging the hip joint resulting in the
  stiff and painful hip.

What Is Osteoarthritis and How Does It Affect the
Hip?

• Osteoarthritis is a degenerate bone condition
  that results due to gradual wear and tear of the
  joints. Once it sets-in, this condition slowly
  destroys the cartilage in the joint forming a
  scar and painful growths of bone. In advanced
  cases of osteoarthritis, the patients may lose
  the cartilage causing stiff bones and painful
  movements.
• The ball and socket joint of the hip is
  internally lined with cartilage to facilitate
  smooth movements of the hip joint. As we age this
  smooth cushion of cartilage gradually wears away
  causing the roughened-up ball and socket to rub
  against each other making it difficult for the
  hip to perform its functions without pain. When
  the joint is left untreated this osteoarthritis
  can worsen, permanently destroying the joint over
  time.

Initial Symptoms of Hip Osteoarthritis

• Pain in the hip joint and stiffness are two
  common initial symptoms of hip arthritis. The
  pain can loom in the buttocks, groin or spread
  over the thighs, especially while standing,
  walking or running. Strat-up pain which is caused
  upon standing after a prolonged period sitting is
  also found in patients in the initial stage do
  hip arthritis. This period can also cause
  flare-ups bouts of increased stiffness and
  pain and patients are advised to consult an
  experienced orthopaedist for help as soon as
  possible before the flare-ups.
• Refraining from certain physical activities,
  weight loss, medications like non-steroidal,
  anti-inflammatory drugs, supplements, and
  physical therapy sessions could be used by the
  arthritis specialist for hip arthritis treatment
  during these stages. If you live in and around

Progression of Hip Osteoarthritis

• As arthritis progresses, the symptoms lime pain,
  weakness, the limited range of motion which are
  intermittent become more regular making rest very
  important. As the condition becomes severe hip
  can start paining even during the rest making a
  severe dent to the quality of life.
• As the condition worsens the hip joint is
  gradually damaged and when the non-surgical
  options like medication, joint injections, and
  physical therapy sessions fail, surgery is
  considered to be the most effective option
  by joint replacement surgeons to restore joint
  health and reduce pain and weakness. Total hip
  replacement and hip resurfacing are two of the
  most effective surgical options available for the
  treatment of severe hip osteoarthritis.
