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 am so saddened by this news and always enjoyed working with Dr. C, a sentiment obviously shared by so many. My heart and thoughts go out to Resurgens and Dr. C's family during this difficult time.

I have been going to Dr. Thomas Ross over 10 years with shoulder, hip & knee problems. He did a total shoulder replacement on me 5 years and everything is fine. He never makes you feel like he is rushing you in & out ..... he listens ... he give you time to ask questions and answers them so you understand what is going on ... he is patient , friendly and very kind. He is wonderful and so is all his staff!

Dr. Dows-Martinez is 5 Stars all the way. She diagnosed my Sciatica, and first and foremost, was alleviating the pain and moving forward with treatment. She explained in detail; in a way I could understand, while showing me a model of a spine. We discussed and agreed upon a treatment plan; as well as expectations and scheduled an Epidural for the next day; which again; she explained – procedure, expectations, and outcomes in detail. Her staff member Angie immediately scheduled the procedure and gave me all the information and details to prepare for it. No detail left out, and made me feel comfortable preparing for the procedure. Every one of her team members were attentive to my medical needs and are all very friendly which really helped put me at ease. The day of the procedure Dr. Dows-Martinez made it very clear that her #1 concern was to keep me pain free, and that she did! …completing the procedure and no pain. Post Op follow-up by Dr. Dows-Martinez and her team, another 5 Stars. Her personal call was specific to my medical needs and her reach-out of personal care and interest was so genuinely felt. Thank you Dr. Dows-Martinez and team!!!

This orthopedic doctor (and staff) actually care, which is a blessing in this day and time when one is in pain!!! I'm very fortunate to have found him! Dr Finklestein is associated with Resurgens Ortho Group in Cumming, Ga.

Dr Dhulipala took a cyst out of my wrist and I the entire experience was a good as it could be. He was able to get my operation done within a month of my visit. After the surgery, his nursing staff called me everyday during the first week to make sure I was ok and also made me feel like it was ok to call in if I had any questions at all. It now 2 weeks later and I feel no pain after surgery.

Dr. Schneider was very professional, prompt with his appointment attendance, very knowledgeable and an all around nice guy. Was nervous to have my first surgery ever and he made the experience much more tolerable than I expected. Thanks again!

Prior to seeing Dr. Stewart, my foot/ankle deformity caused a great deal of pain for over 6 years. Dr. Stewart went over my options, was extremely compassionate, understanding and very thorough. We made a plan that began with pre-surgery physical therapy, then surgery, now post op PT. 3 weeks ago I walked pain free for the first time in over 6 years!! My only question is why did it take me so long to find Dr. Stewart!? Best team EVER!! Thank you very much and God Bless you Dr. Stewart!!

A most excellent, competent professional with superb doctor/patient relationship. Good humor, kept us at ease and reassured during the entire process, diagnosis, surgery, rehab. Thankful to know Dr. Widener.

It is my pleasure to give the highest recommendation for Dr. Blanchard! The five stars in each category only tell part of the story; he is also a most caring doctor, even visiting me in the hospital over the weekend . Of course, the ultimate recommendation is for Dr. Blanchard's excellent work! My lumbar fusion eliminated decades of debilitating back pain. I trust him completely for any future spine issues. His resource manager is also wonderful at coordinating and explaining information.

I saw Dr. Albritton yesterday. My entire visit took less than 30 minutes. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Albritton was through and to the point It was a great experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend them and Dr. Albritton.
