Hip osteoarthritis is a condition where the cartilage in the hip joint degenerates and causes pain and inflammation. Hip joint causes the loss of mobility of ball and socket present in the hip. It is a large joint that holds much of the body’s weight and helps in activities like walking, sitting, and running. In hip osteoarthritis, the cartilage that lines the acetabular and covers the ball-shaped femoral head gets inflamed. The inflamed cartilage degenerates over time, which narrows the space that exists between these two bones. New cartilage regenerates again, but the new cartilage creates joint friction and makes the bone bumpy and irregular.
Movement is painful because of the conflict between the acetabulum and femoral head. This friction can lead to the development of painful osteophytes and bone spurs in the hip joint. Patients with hip osteoarthritis may feel a grating sensation during the movement. You may feel a little pain from hip osteoarthritis on the groin and down the front of the thigh. You may also contact the same pain while holding or carrying a bucket from your hand. Hip osteoarthritis can also cause brief episodes of stabbing pain in the hip.
