The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint formed between the femur and the pelvis. Three bones—ilium, ischium, and pubic bone—come together to create the pelvis, providing structural support and mobility. Unlike knee conditions, hip-related issues are relatively rare in the Indian population, often influenced by early childhood carrying methods and traditional sitting postures like cross-legged sitting.

The articular cartilage, a smooth, cushion-like, shiny white layer, covers the femoral head and acetabulum, allowing the hip to move effortlessly. A synovial membrane lines the joint, ensuring lubrication and reducing friction. Surrounding the hip joint are strong ligaments, tendons, and muscles forming the joint capsule, which stabilizes the hip and prevents dislocation.

For individuals experiencing hip pain, arthritis, fractures, or mobility limitations, advanced hip surgery techniques, including total hip replacement, hip resurfacing, and minimally invasive procedures, provide effective solutions for restoring movement and improving quality of life.

They are a smooth cushion like shiny white articular cartilage, which is covering the femoral head and acetabulum. A synovial membrane (joint lining) is the articular cartilage which keeps the joint slippery.

Large ligament, tendons and muscles around the joint forms a capsule called joint capsule, which helps in holding the bones in place and prevents in dislocation.
