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 had hip replacement surgery on 1/2/19 and walked with minimal assistance of a cane on 1/17/19. I found Dr. Claps and staff to be professional and efficient. My questions were always answered and explanations given for medications and procedures to be preformed. Dr. Claps called personally before and after surgery. I could not have chosen a better surgeon for my procedure. I also found other staff at Resurgens to be friendly and helpful.

I can say with no hesitation that Dr. Cone-Sullivan saved my life. I was in a horrible car accident, and after 4 procedures and 2 surgeries - I am living a much better life. She listened to me, worked with me, even held my hand when I was crying. The nursing staff that also took care of my were always so kind. I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, may God bless you and your family.

Able to access my patient account and check in online for my appointments. So up with the times. From the office staff, assistants, nurses, NP's, to the doctors...they are all professionals and courteous. Very knowledgeable as well. Thank you Resurgens.

Daftari performed 2 back surgeries for me. First he went through my stomach to straighten my spine and then the next week through my back to replace L4-S1 vertebrae’s and put all my hardware in. After 3 years of not being able to walk and being in the bed he saved my life! He checked on me so much in the hospital and he was so excited it was so successful. I had a high rate of being paralyzed if I did not get this surgery when I did. I wish I could somehow repay him for saving me!

I am 53, Dr Kelly was referred to me by my PCP and several friends. I had a torn meniscus and Dr Kelly operated, stitched it back together, I went through all my physical therapy at Resurgeons and 13 months later I am writing this review to say that I am completely at the point where I was prior to my tear. Dr Kelly was awesome and I highly recommend him as surgeon and Monica at Kennesaw Resurgeons Physical Therapy as a therapist. Thank you both. You guys rock!

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!!

I was diagnosed with osteo arthritis of the hip a few years ago up north. I put off the surgery for about 3 years but when I moved to Georgia a little over a year ago I decided to look into it again. I was referred to Dr. Yarbrough by a co-worker and couldn't be more happy. He confirmed my diagnosis but wasn't pushy about having the surgery. He gave me plenty of information and offered a couple of treatment options in lieu of replacement surgery. I decided to have the procedure and it was a great decision for me. Dr. Bob was great! i knew exactly what to expect and he was spot on. I would definitely refer him to someone in need of this type of procedure.

Dr. Kelly performed my first knee surgery almost 6 years ago. The process was very easy on my end and his office made it a breeze to take care of my knee issues. Now, I'm having the same issue on my other knee and his office has gone above and beyond to address my concerns and assist me in scheduling my surgery. I have seen other doctors and would suggest no one else but him. He is thorough in his explanations without making you feel like you need a medical degree to translate.

Dr. Gleason was comforting. compassionate, competent and comprehensive in his treatment of the total rupture of Achilles Tendon of my left leg. He provided the first temporary plaster, and a week later operated upon my leg. The follow up was prompt and efficient. I had to contact him over phone early in the morning, and his guidance was clear, and very professional.

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!
