Hip pain is often caused by arthritis, especially in older adults. Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common types of arthritis that affect the hip joint. As a result of arthritis, the hip joint becomes inflamed and the cartilage breaks down. Gradually, the pain worsens.
Hip pain can also be caused by bursitis. A bursa is a sac of liquid located between tissues such as bones, muscles, and tendons. They reduce friction between these tissues rubbing against each other. Pain occurs when the bursae become inflamed. Repetitive activities that overwork or irritate the hip joint usually result in bursae inflammation.
Labral tears in the hip joint are tears in the cartilage ring (labrum) that lines the outer rim of the joint socket. In addition to cushioning your hip joint, your labrum acts as a rubber seal or gasket. Your hip socket is held securely by the ball at the top of your thigh bone. People who perform repetitive twisting movements, such as athletes, are at greater risk.
