Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis is a type of degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown of the cartilage cushion of the hip joint leading to pain and stiffness. It is a common problem, especially in older adults, and the risk increases with age. Treatment may include physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, medications, and surgery. Hip osteoarthritis can lead to significant disability and disruption of daily activities. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the risk of progression of the condition and improve quality of life.
