Hip and pelvis injuries and conditions

Hip osteoarthritis causes pain in the groin, stiffness and difficulty with movements as simple as putting on your socks. We explain why the muscles are the key to the pain, how we treat it and how we support you if you need a hip replacement.

Trochanteritis causes pain on the outer side of the hip, especially when lying on your side or climbing stairs. We explain how to recognise it, why the origin may be in the glutes and even in the foot, and how we treat it.

Pubalgia is one of the most common pains in athletes, and in most cases it's due to adductor tendinitis. We explain how to recognise it, how we treat it and what the return to sport is like, step by step.

With hip impingement, the femur and pelvis collide when you bend and rotate your hip, and pain appears in the groin. We explain why having this shape on an X-ray isn't always a problem, how we treat it and when surgery is considered.

Snapping hip is that click you feel on the outer side of your hip or in your groin when moving your leg. We explain why it happens, how to tell which type you have, when it needs treating and how we do it.
