Please view / download the booklets below which covers the following conditions (and the associated treatments).
Femoroacetabular Impingement is a clinical syndrome, where mismatch between the shape of the ball and socket cause pinching of the labrum in certain movements. If the process of pinching at the rim of joint continues, damage can spread to the articular cartilage inside of the hip causing arthritis.
Hip Dysplasia is a condition where the hip socket is too shallow or is pointing in the wrong direction. This results in not enough bony support in the weight-bearing zone of the hip and too much pressure falling on the rim (labrum), which can become torn or damaged. When the hip socket is shallow the weight-bearing area is smaller and over time the wear and tear concentrated in a small area can result in early arthritis.
Trochanteric pain syndrome is a term used to describe painful conditions around the outer aspect of the hip. It may be caused by inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, gluteus medius or minimus tendinopathy or other inflammatory conditions of the hip.
Deep-gluteal-pain-syndrome – Patients with this condition present with buttock pain, which may radiate along the back of the thigh. This syndrome is commonly caused by pinching of the sciatic nerve, by tight muscles and tendons in the buttock area. It may also be due to piriformis tendonitis, hamstring tendinopathy or inflammation of other tissue in that region.
