At OrthoCenter, our hip and thigh orthopaedics team specializes in diagnosing and treating a full range of conditions affecting the hip joint, pelvis, upper leg, and surrounding soft tissues. Whether your symptoms developed gradually or resulted from an injury, we provide personalized care to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you return to your active lifestyle.
Common Hip and Thigh Symptoms
Hip and thigh problems often begin with mild discomfort and can worsen over time if left untreated. Early evaluation can help identify the source of your symptoms and improve treatment outcomes. You may benefit from care if you experience:
Pain in the hip, groin, buttock, or upper thigh during activity or at rest.
Difficulty moving the hip or reduced flexibility after sitting, standing, or exercising.
Difficulty bending, rotating, or fully moving the hip joint.
Weakness in the hip or thigh muscles that affects walking, climbing stairs, or balance.
Catching, clicking, popping, or feelings that the hip may give out during movement.
Pain or limitations while walking, running, exercising, getting in and out of a vehicle, or performing routine activities.
Hip Conditions & Injuries We Treat
Our orthopaedic specialists treat both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting the hip joint, thigh muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and surrounding structures.
Inflammation of the bursae surrounding the hip, leading to pain along the outside of the hip and upper thigh.
Damage to the cartilage surrounding the hip socket that may cause pain, clicking, instability, and limited movement.
Degeneration of the hip joint that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Broken bones involving the hip or upper femur, commonly resulting from falls, sports injuries, or trauma.
A condition in which abnormal bone shape causes the hip bones to rub together, leading to pain and joint damage.
Characterized by a snapping sound or sensation in the hip, often due to tendons moving over bone structures. It can be painless or painful.
Displacement of the femoral head from the hip socket, usually due to trauma. A medical emergency requiring prompt treatment.
Death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply, commonly affecting the femoral head and leading to joint collapse if untreated.
Thigh Conditions & Injuries We Treat
Each thigh condition requires a personalized treatment approach, and our team develops a care plan based on your diagnosis, lifestyle, activity level, and goals.
Overstretching or tearing of the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh, usually due to sudden movements or overuse.
A tear or stretch in the hamstring muscles at the back of the thigh, often caused by sprinting or sudden acceleration.
A bruise or bleeding within the thigh muscles due to direct impact, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes stiffness.
Inflammation of the IT band (a thick band of tissue on the outer thigh) causing pain on the outer hip or knee, often seen in runners.
A small crack in the thigh bone from repetitive force or overuse, leading to groin or thigh pain that worsens with activity.
Formation of bone tissue inside a muscle following a severe contusion or repeated trauma, usually affecting the thigh muscles.
Compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, causing burning, tingling, or numbness in the outer thigh.
Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Hip & Thigh Treatment Options
Managing hip and thigh pain doesn’t always require surgery. Many patients experience lasting relief through conservative treatments that reduce inflammation, restore strength, and improve joint function. Our specialists develop personalized treatment plans designed to relieve pain while helping you regain mobility and return to your daily activities.
Strengthening and flexibility exercises designed to improve mobility, stability, and function.
Helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Adjustments to daily activities help reduce stress on injured joints and soft tissues.
Targeted injections that help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the hip joint or surrounding tissues.
Canes, walkers, or supportive devices may improve mobility and reduce stress on the hip during recovery.
Advanced Surgical Hip & Thigh Treatment Options
When conservative care no longer provides relief, advanced surgical treatments can restore mobility and improve quality of life. Our orthopaedic surgeons utilize modern techniques designed to minimize tissue disruption while improving long-term function and recovery.
A minimally invasive procedure used to treat labral tears, hip impingement, and other joint conditions.
Replacement of the damaged hip joint with advanced prosthetic components to relieve pain and restore movement.
Replacement of only the damaged portion of the hip joint when appropriate.
Surgical stabilization of fractured bones using plates, screws, rods, or other fixation devices.
Repair of torn or damaged tendons surrounding the hip to restore strength and function.
Advanced procedures to address complications or failure of previous hip replacement surgery. Minimally invasive techniques are used whenever possible to reduce recovery time and improve outcomes.
