AB  - Hip  pain  is  a  common  complaint  that  may  be  referred  to  the  thigh,  back,  or  groin  areas.  The  anatomic  location  of  the  true  hip  joint  is  unclear  to  many  patients,  who  confuse  pain  generated  from  this  area  with  symptoms  arising  from  the  lumbar  spine  or  soft  tissues  around  the  hip.  The  hip  joint  and  its  periarticular  structures  are  relatively  inaccessible  to  evaluation  by  palpation.  Accurate  assessment  of  patients  with  “hip  pain”  depends  on  the  identification  of  specific  historical  features,  appropriate  physical  examination  maneuvers,  basic  insights  into  common  radiographic  findings,  and  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  differential  diagnosis.  The  likely  cause  of  hip  pain  in  a  given  patient  often  has  a  high  correlation  with  the  patient’s  age.
