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

I had hip replacement surgery on 1/2/19 and walked with minimal assistance of a cane on 1/17/19. I found Dr. Claps and staff to be professional and efficient. My questions were always answered and explanations given for medications and procedures to be preformed. Dr. Claps called personally before and after surgery. I could not have chosen a better surgeon for my procedure. I also found other staff at Resurgens to be friendly and helpful.

I'm so sad to hear this news!! Dr. C was the best. Deepest sympathies to her family.

Excellent care and service from check-in to post-op follow up. Highly recommend Dr. Albritton and Resurgens Orthopaedics.

If you require a total knee or hip replacement, Dr. Lane is the best. My left knee is perfection and my right knee soon will be. You cannot find a more caring, skilled, and talented doctor.

I met Dr. Arthur Raines after a severe injury to my left leg and ankle in 2013. He did repair all injuries and get me back walking, running, and extreme sporting. His bedside manner is impeccable. He kept me informed throughout the episode, and used up to date surgical techniques to hasten healing and limit adverse side effects. Thank you Dr.Raines.

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Dr. Walton and his staff are!! My daughter has been seeing him for about a year and every visit he has listened patiently and answered all of her questions. He takes his time and does not rush through the appointments. Dr. Walton is honestly one of THE best doctors I have ever come in contact with and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a foot specialist.

Dr. Walton is an excellent doctor! I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, caring, and professional.

The best doctor I have ever had. Doc rebuilt my ankle after basketball injury at 46 years old in 2012. Ran a half marathon 6 months after pins, plate and screws. Just recently has two meniscus tears repaired. Dr McQusil is an excellent doctor and a great person. I would not think of allowing another doctor to handle my sports injuries or any other related issues. Dr. McQusil is the best.

Dr. Strong is very caring doctor. He pays attention and is very thorough. I like a doctor that has the bedside manner that he has which this doctor is not all about the money he's all about the patient. That's a rare find any more!! Highly highly recommend.

What I love about Dr. Peretz is his ability to make you feel comfortable and he really listens to you. I’ve gone to others orthopedic surgeon and their first thought is to operate. Dr. Peretz reviews ALL options.
