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.

It was a good visit. I got a steroid shot in the hip. He was informative and seemed to care about the problem. I will visit him again if needed. I would recommend him to others.

I had my thumb stuck for about 5 years with the trigger thumb problem, and later went to my PCP to complain due to the excruciating pain that never went away and she referred me to doctor Christopher Walsh in Fayetteville. The surgery was scheduled at the location in Morrow, GA. I was nervous and he guaranteed me 99% success rate. It's been almost 4 years and my thumb is like nothing ever happened. Thanks doctor Christopher!

Brooke a piece of my joint off at the base of my thumb in a SkyZone Trampoline Fitness class. It floated away from the bone with the ligament attached. Dr. Patel did a great job at explaining everything to me prior to surgery. I knew exactly what to expect. The Resurgens group is amazing. I still have to go back and have the cast taken off and pin removed. Hoping the pin removal does not hurt. He said it would not, just be uncomfortable. He has been spot on about everything else, so not as anxious.

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 had a great Experience over the last 6 months. Everyone from front to back, from the The secretary's when you walked in the door all the way to the surgeon. The surgeon explained everything in a way I could understand. And the nurses were reassuring threw out the whole time.

The staff was courteous and helpful. They were able to slide me into an appointment the same day i called in. Dr Scott was attentive and knowledgeable. I was properly instructed on my condition and the steps i needed to take to improve it. Could not have been an easier and smoother process.

Every appointment with Dr Dopson has been stat since I have had debilitating pain, due to a herniated disc. He and his staff have been so accommodating & wonderful to me! Every request I have made & need I have is always addressed in a timely manner by his wonderful MA Candy. My first visit I was a work in, and I know I put him behind, but he still took the time to review everything with me & answer all of my questions. He is very thorough, knowledgable, & compassionate toward his patients.

Dr. Mortazavi cares very much about his patients well being. Excellent explanation of my condition and the expectations of the surgery to correct my back issues. After having the surgery, he remains attentive to patients needs. His PA, Curtis, is also knowledgeable and displays the same concerns for the patients well being. Overall great experience and glad I chose Dr. Mortazavi to perform my surgery!

Dr. Middlebrooks and his PA are the best and understand patient's dynamics and the care they need for their medical issues. The staff in the Lawrenceville office are the best. Everyone is so professional and treat you with respect and dignity. They listen to you and also have you contribute to the medical plan and they don't just throw their treatment plan at you without explaining everything to you. They also explains it to you on your level so that when you leave their office you have a great understanding of what is it that they are trying to accomplish and to assist you to get your health back on track. Every doctor need to take a page out of their book because they understand patient's dynamic and their health needs. I love these guys and will trust all my family and friends with them. Keep up the good work guys because you are the best in the bone, joints and muscle business.
