What Are Medical Treatments for Hip Pain?
The cause of the hip pain will direct the
treatment provided.
Aside from medications, therapy will be directed
to maintain the strength and range of motion of
the hip. As with any illness or injury, the goal
is to return the patient to their normal level of
function. A team approach involving the health
care professional, physical therapist, or
chiropractic care provider may be considered.

When Is Surgery Needed for Hip Pain?
Hip fractures commonly require surgery to fix the
fracture. The type of surgery depends upon the
location of the fracture within the hip joint.
The underlying health of the patient needs to be
assessed, and the risks of general anesthesia
need to be considered. Surgery often occurs soon
after the injury, if the patient's condition
allows, to allow quicker return of activity.
Patients who are immobilized and lie in bed for
prolonged periods of time are at risk for
developing blood clots in their legs (deep vein
thrombosis) and breakdown of their skin, or
bedsores.
Hip replacement is perhaps the most common joint
replacement surgery. It is considered in patients
with progressive arthritis that affects the
patient's ability to do daily activities. Hip
resurfacing is an alternative to hip replacement.
The choice of procedure is a joint decision made
by the orthopedic surgeon and patient to be able
to return the patient to the level of activity
that they would like to achieve.
Hip arthroscopy has become more widely available
to evaluate and treat hip joint damage, including
labrum and cartilage tears, loose bodies within
the joint, and early arthritis.

How Can Someone Prevent Hip Pain?
The body is a machine that needs to be well
looked after over a lifetime. By maintaining a
normal body mass index (BMI) and avoiding
obesity, providing a good diet to build strong
bones, and by exercising routinely to preserve
normal range of motion of the hip, osteoarthritis
of the hips and back pain may be avoided or
minimized.

Medications that prevent osteoporosis in women
should be considered to minimize the risk of hip
and back fractures in at-risk women. These
include calcium, vitamin D, and bisphosphonates
(Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax). Bone mineral density
screening is recommended by the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force and the American Congress of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists beginning at age
65 for all women, or for younger women with risk
factors for bone thinning or fractures.
For older individuals, it is important to
minimize the risk of falling and breaking a hip
or sustaining other injuries related to a fall.
Preventive measures include wearing well-fitting
shoes with a good tread, using a cane or walker
for stability if needed, and making certain that
walking areas in the home are free of clutter.
The use of area rugs and mats should be avoided.
For individuals of all ages, it is important to
maintain good strength, flexibility, and posture
throughout life to allow the hip to move and
function normally.
