Hip injuries

Hip pain may come from the joint, tendons and nearby tissues, or sometimes from the back. Pain in the groin, outer hip or buttock offers clues but cannot identify the cause by itself.

Symptoms and reasons to seek assessment

Describe whether symptoms followed a fall, began with activity or developed gradually. Note clicking, stiffness and difficulty walking. Severe pain after injury, inability to bear weight or a hot joint with fever require urgent assessment rather than waiting for a routine consultation.

Assessment and treatment considerations

The examination assesses movement, walking and relevant nearby structures. Imaging is selected according to the suspected problem. Management can include activity changes, rehabilitation and medical care; surgery has specific indications. An individual plan should focus on the activities that matter to you and include review if the symptoms do not improve.

Prepare for an assessment in Matamoros

Bring available studies and reports, a list of medications and a short account of how symptoms affect your daily life. Write down what you would like treatment to improve. Ask which findings explain the concern, what options are reasonable and when progress should be reviewed.
