The hip is the joint most prone to wear as it supports the entire weight of the body during walking. Today, ultrasound-guided infiltrations and prosthetic surgery are the mainstays of treatment for most pathologies of this anatomical district.
Orthopedic hip examination?
An orthopaedic hip examination is essential to identify the causes of problems in this structure. In most cases, those who visit an orthopaedist for a hip examination do so because of localised pain in this part of the body. No special preparation is required to undergo an orthopaedic hip examination. However, it is recommended that you bring along any diagnostic reports that might be useful (e.g. recent standing X-rays) that you already have. The examination also includes (if necessary) the orthopaedist’s performance of a first-level ultrasound scan for a more detailed diagnosis.
