Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Hip joint is one of the most important joints in the body because of the vital role it plays in locomotion. It is the second largest weight-bearing joint in the body, after the knee joint. It is a ball-and-socket synovial joint formed between the os coxa (hip bone) and the femur. The rounded head of the femur forms the ball, which fits into the acetabulum (socket in the pelvic bone) and ligaments connect the ball to the socket, thereby providing tremendous stability to the joint. Functionally, the hip joint enjoys a very high range of motion.

All of the various components of the hip mechanism assist in the mobility of the joint. Damage to any single component can negatively affect range of motion and ability to bear weight on the joint. 

Subjective Examination[edit | edit source]

Patient Intake[edit | edit source]

The first step during the subjective examination is the description of the patient's symptoms. Taking the history is a vital component of the subjective examination as it helps the clinician develop a hypothesis about the mechanism of injury, type of the injured structures and extent of the injury or damage.
