Understanding Hip Anatomy

The foundation of your mobility lies in the hip joint, the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. Imagine a smooth, rounded ball (femoral head) at the top of your thigh bone (femur) fitting snugly into a cup-like socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis. This simple design allows for a wide range of motion, from walking to jumping. But the hip is more than just connecting bones: Powerful muscles surround the joint, providing strength and control for everyday movement. Understanding the hip's structure empowers you to describe your hip pain to your doctor better, and work together to find the right treatment for you.


What Causes Hip Pain?

Due to the hip's complexity, hip pain can originate in many different parts of the joint. Common hip conditions include arthritis, injuries from overuse or accidents, and bursitis, the inflammation of fluid sacs cushioning the joint.

Muscle strains, tendonitis, and bone abnormalities can also contribute to hip pain. If you're experiencing hip pain, our Atlanta hip specialists at Resurgens Orthopaedics can help pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

As a chiropractor of over 30 years, I send many patients for spine surgery and I'm always looking for great surgeons. Dr Goins keeps up with the latest techniques and performs surgery only when it's in the best interest of the patient. He is tops on my list of trusted doctors

I have osteoarthritis and have had 6 hand surgeries with Dr. Holliger. You won't find a better hand surgeon or a better surgery center than Dr. Holliger or Resurgens. After 3 cyst removals, 2 carpal tunnel releases, and most importantly, removal of the bone at the base of my thumb, I am virtually pain free. I have no scars from the cyst removals or the carpal tunnel releases and never even took a pain pill afterwards. Dr Holliger took excellent care of me and I highly recommend him. I wish I had met him 15 years sooner. Needless suffering over fear of painful surgery was a total waste of time. I can't say enough about how my quality of life has improved because Dr. Holliger is such a great surgeon. One more surgery to go and I will be good as new! Thank you for taking such good care of me!

I am very pleased with the services that I received from Dr. Khan. He has a comforting and reassuring bedside manner. An occupational injury caused me severe pain for months and a questionable return to work. With his assistance I'm improving and on the right path. Thanks Dr. Khan!

These ease of scheduling with Resurgens was simple and quick with my injury! The office is very knowledgeable about insurance and filing. Dr. Levere is a very patient, kind, and thorough hand specialist. He listens to your concerns and is careful with your injury. He provides the best options of care when available and takes the necessary measures to figure out your problem before recommending any treatment. Stacey the NP is a "jewel"! She is very soft spoken, sweet, answers all of my many questions, and cared for me as well. Even on the visits I see her, Dr. Levere comes in to check that my visit went well and if I have any other questions. The professionalism starts from the entrance of the door, front office, assistant seating me in the room, MRI, and entire team! I really appreciate each you for all you have done. Even during the Pandemic.

I very recently had total right hip replacement surgery by Dr. Bircoll at DeKalb Medical Surgery Center. The hip replacement has been a complete success and pain that I have experienced in the hip for a long time is gone. In addition, Dr. Bircoll and his staff are outstanding. They worked very hard at each step to make sure that I understood what to do and felt comfortable. They answered questions carefully and completely. I would highly recommend Dr. Bircoll to anyone needing hip surgery.

Excellent surgeon with a comfortable bedside manner. The entire office was easy to deal with and always eager to make sure that my mom was well cared for. Everyone went the extra mile to fully explain every detail of the procedure and answer any questions or concerns that we had. Scheduling or changing appointments was an easy process as well.

Dr. Erroll Bailey is nothing short of a magaician. I was having trouble walking because of what my PCP said was gout. Dr. Bailey took x-rays and did a exam which he figured out I was suffering from turf toe. I went from totally miserable to being able to walk again. He and his staff did a great job and I am very thankful for them. I am back to playing sports and having a normal daily life. Thanks Dr. B!!!

Dr. Dopson was GREAT! Cervical surgery was PAINLESS, and healing time was rapid. Couldn't have asked for more. He has a wonderful bedside manner and I would recommend him to my family and my best friend! Claudia Booth, RN

Simply, a no nonsense medical professional whose diagnosis is based on careful observation of your specific issue. Surgery only if absolutely necessary. Dr. Wertheim treated me for both a knee and elbow issue. Thank you.

I had a AC separation last year and was taken care of almost immediately after the injury and was given great guidance and support through the recovery time. Doctor Albert did a great job and was very helpful when I had questions and concerns. Recovery went great and haven't had a problem since.
