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 have been under the care of the Resurgens Orthopaedics in Lawrenceville for about 8 years and I could not be more happy with the level of professional care I have received. Dr. Mary Albert - A total hip replacement, Dr. Raymond Hui - Rotator Cuff surgical repair, Dr. Edward Middlebrooks - Surgery for removal of failing cervical disc. I have been exceptionally pleased with each of the Resurgens physicians care for the above issues. For me the MOST important factor in evaluating a providers care is RESULTS!

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.

If you are looking for the best Orthopedic Surgeon for knee or hip replacement Dr. Kim is the one! Dr. Kim replaced both of my knees, 7 years and 8 months ago and was fantastic. I had complete trust in his abilities and excellent care from him as well as Andrea and Josh. Having a good Physical Therapist is also key to and excellent recovery. All the Physical Therapist I talk to highly recommend Dr. Kim and that speaks volumes as well as a highly respected reputation!

Dr. Kao is fantastic! After I had a freak fall where I broke my hip, I scheduled an appointment immediately. Dr. Kao was very positive, listened intently, told me my options, and made sure I understood everything. She performed surgery and visited me in the hospital every day. Her care and follow-up are exemplary. I truly believe that I have mended so well because of her expertise. I highly recommend her.

Great experience. Dr. Levere is a kind, honest, and very skilled surgeon. My wrist was a mess but his surgery on it was painless and restorative.

The entire experience was excellent. What I appreciated most was Dr. Titelman spending time showing me my xrays, helping me understand the fracture I had, and why it should heal fine given its location. The staff were also friendly and very efficient.

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.

Dr C exemplified beauty inside and out. She was a beautiful soul who loved her family, her patients and all the people who worked for and with her. It's so hard to accept but God knows best. May her beautiful soul rest in eternal peace and may God continue to keep and bless her family.

Great Doctor and Staff! Repaired torn meniscus in my left knee. Took time to explain all my options. Surgery scheduled promptly and results are excellent. Cleared to go back to full activity four weeks after the surgery!

I had been dealing with severe pain for several months and trying traditional non-invasive treatments (Chiro and PT) with very little results. In checking with coworkers in the healthcare community Dr Daftari was highly recommended. After being assessed by Dr Daftari and his team it was determined that I had a severely herniated disc which required prompt intervention to avoid nerve damage. My pain was gone as soon as I woke up from surgery! I highly recommend Dr Daftari and his team!
