What is Hip Arthritis?
Hip arthritis is one of the most common causes of hip pain. Hip arthritis is inflammation of the protective cartilage of the hip joint. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of hip arthritis. OA can be caused by ageing, obesity, genetics, and injuries. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that can affect any joint in the body. The body attacks and destroys its own cartilage. The large hip joint is especially susceptible to RA. Symptoms of both types of arthritis are similar. They include:
Groin pain
Thigh pain
Stiffness
Weakness
Decreased range of motion
