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.

Had three surgeries with Dr. Miller, left an right rotator cuff, right hand carpal tunnel. Was best Dr. I ever had a in my 70 years I have had many Dr's. Very caring, explains every thing to be done in layman's terms that anyone can understand.

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.

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. Widener exceeded my expectations! I have a horrible phobia of needles but he was very kind and gentle. Exceptional bedside manor and very knowledgeable! I’m very pleased to find a good surgeon who could identify the problem and fix it. He’s an incredibly competent Surgeon and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone of all ages! He has an excellent reputation built up in our community for good reason.

Dr. Julia Kao is incredible, she has a fantastic beside manor, professional, caring, thorough, and ensures that you are healing properly. My surgery was done outpatient, with an 8 cm. incision, she sent me home with everything I need! Also Rachel who is also amazing, made sure I had all prescriptions I needed, and was there to answer all my questions! I would highly recommend Dr. Kao and her staff!! They are the best!!

Dr. Chambers is an exceptional physician. She has treated my spine problems for several years, and I would not see any other doctor. She is very knowledgeable about the spine, and she has a great "bedside manner." She is soft-spoken, looks you in the eye when she speaks, and makes sure that any and all questions you may have are answered before you leave. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I love Resurgens and Dr. Chambers!

Dr Carantzas is the best. Have been going to them for years and all the doctors and staff go above and beyond to help their patients Thank you I appreciate you

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.

I have the pleasure of having Dr Boe as my surgeon. He’s the best!!!! I had a hip replacement with him , and so,so happy I did. This man knows his stuff. Thank you Doc. Three weeks out,and I’m still DANCING ???? And his staff (Nurse Karen) is the nicest woman you want to meet.

I had surgery with Dr. Jeffords and it was 100% successful. I have been pain free for 5 years. I have recommended him to several people in St. Simons where I live .....they have had spine surgery with Dr. Jeffords and they thank me because their surgeries were 100% successful too. He is a GREAT Surgeon...patient, kind, knowledgeable and talented.
