Your hip is the joint where your femur (thigh bone) meets your pelvis (hip bone). Your hip is known as a ball-and-socket joint. This is because you have a ball at the end of your femur, and it fits into a socket in your pelvis. This makes your hips very stable and allows for a wide range of motion. When they are healthy, it takes great force to hurt them.

However, playing sports, running, auto accidents or falling can many times lead to hip injuries such as:

• Strains
• Bursitis
• Dislocations
• Fractures (broken bones)

Common Cause of Hip Pain

Hips are among the most common joint to develop osteoarthritis. The wear and tear of cartilage over time causes bone to rub against bone, which can cause debilitating pain and immobility. Arthritis also leads to inflammation of the hip joint that can be extremely painful. Over time, hip pain gradually worsens if not treated properly. Arthritis can cause stiffness of the joints of loss of motion.
Another common hip injury is tearing in the ligaments or tendons. Some of these injuries may be accident-related while others may simply be related to daily activities.
Repeated motions can cause hip strain or tendonitis due to overuse. Athletes that frequently twist or turn in their sport are more likely to experience a hip labral tear along the outside rim of the hip socket.

Hip Pain After Car Accident & Related Hip Injuries

As one of the most load bearing joints in the body, nearly every movement is affected by the hips. If your hip joint is effected in a car accident, the space in the joint may be filled with fluid, causing the hip capsule to fill. Your ability to stay active lies in the motion of the hip joint.
