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

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. Raines did an excellent job repairing a tear in one of the small muscles of my shoulder. He is kind, pleasant, and professional. April, one of his medical assistants, always had a cheerful word for me and for everyone else in the office. I am completely satisfied with my treatment and grateful to have the use of my arm and shoulder again!

My knee surgery was 2008, 2011 and pain free. Thank You Dr. Albert. I would/will recommend my friends and family to you. You're the best!!

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

I am a previous patient of Dr. Bhole. I had a condition called tarsal coalition, resulting in ankle instability and constant pain, often agitated by walking. Not only did Dr. Bhole explain the condition in a way I understood, he demonstrated total control of the situation. He performed surgery on both ankles, and I had no complications and received exemplary post-operative care from Dr. Bhole and his team. Now, I am living pain-free and I have my life back. I recommend Dr. Bhole to anyone.

I went to Resurgens Orthopedic for treatment for carpal tunnel issues. Dr. Starecki handled the surgery and guess what?? No more carpal tunnel problems. Good experience, not much pain and relatively quick recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Starecki to be your doctor for anyone with carpal tunnel pains.

THE BEST SURGEON HANDS DOWN! I had a rollover accident while driving a concrete truck. Worker's Comp was paying my medical bills and if you've dealt with worker's comp before, you know how they like to rush the recovery and cut you off financially. Mark McBride took his time to listen, he was compassionate and understanding. My arm was severely hurt and he really does work miracles. I highly recommended him!

I just can't say enough about Resurgens and Dr. Chris Blanchard. I have had moderate to severe pain in my neck, shoulders, and right arm for many years. Dr. Blanchard did ACDF for me on 2 levels 10 days ago, and I feel better than I have in 20 years! I'm essentially pain free! Dr. Blanchard is caring, patient, and professional - I would highly recommend him! And the office staff at the Cumming office is friendly, professional and efficient - one of the best run medical offices I have ever visited. I would highly recommend Resurgens and Dr. Blanchard!

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

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