Several conditions can affect the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement. Some common hip disorders include:

• Osteoarthritis – Degenerative condition causing joint cartilage wear and tear.
• Rheumatoid arthritis – Autoimmune disease leading to chronic inflammation of the hip.
• Avascular necrosis – Loss of blood supply to the femoral head leading to bone collapse.
• Hip fractures – Common in elderly due to osteoporosis or falls.
• Hip labral tear – Injury to the cartilage rim of the acetabulum.
• Bursitis and tendonitis – Inflammation of soft tissues around the hip.
• Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) – Abnormal formation of the hip joint from birth.
