Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis: Overview
Arthritis, also called osteoarthritis, is a breakdown of the tissue (cartilage) that cushions your joints. Many people have some arthritis as they age. When the cartilage in your hip joints wears down, your hip bone rubs against the hip socket. This causes pain and stiffness.
Work with your doctor to find the right mix of treatments for your arthritis. There are things you can do at home to protect your hip joints, ease your pain, and help you stay active. But if your arthritis becomes so bad that you cannot walk, you may need surgery to replace the hip joint.
Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis is the loss of cartilage at the hip joint. The cartilage is a shock absorber, without it there is pain, which can impede mobility.
