Causes of Hip Pain
• Avulsion or Stress Fractures
• Adductor / Iliopsoas / Rectus Muscle Sprain
• Inguinal/ Sports Hernia or other intra-abdominal
pathology
• Spinal origin (referred pain)
• Iliopsoas bursitis / Snapping
• Trochanteric bursitis
• Arthritis
• Osseo-chondrolabral lesion within joint
New evidence
• Labral tears lead to articular cartilage damage
• Femoral Cam and Acetabular Pincer lesions
(femoroacetabular impingement) perpetuate the
process
• Altered gait causes lateral trochanteric or back pain
• Early treatment will slow the onset of arthritis
