Hip

Arthritis: Hip arthritis, similar to shoulder arthritis, involves the deterioration of cartilage in the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Treatment options include medication, physical therapy, injections, or hip replacement surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve function.

Fractures: Hip fractures are common, especially among older adults, and can result from falls or trauma. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, inability to bear weight, and leg shortening. Treatment often requires surgery to stabilize the fracture and restore mobility, followed by rehabilitation to regain strength and function.
