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 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.

I have been using Resurgens for over 11 years and yes, you will wait sometimes a little longer than you expect to, but that's because the doctor's don't throw you out in 5 minutes. They listen to you and the problem(s), discuss all options and tell you the best way to proceed. I have had knee, shoulders, arm, hand and back problems that they have helped me with and I would recommend them to all. Resurgens doctor's are terrific.

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. Pines has such an awesome bedside manner!! An honest doctor, that's very gentle, apologetic, and nice on top of that!! I would refer anyone to him, that needed him. 5 stars for Dr. Pines at Resurgens, in McDonough, Ga.

Dr. Finkelstein e is very professional and direct about what your injury is.  I have been very impressed with his knowledge and efficient run office. Although I hope to not need him after this, He will be my go to for back and neck issues. I recommend him 100%.

Excellent staff, excellent surgeon. I had back surgery, quite extensive, and have not had a moment of difficulty. I would recommend Dr. Ali Mortazavi highly.

My wife and primary care doctor nagged for months to go see Dr. Sacks. I don’t like doctors and the thought of surgery scared me. My back and hip pain was so bad I could barely walk anymore. I had some X-rays and he examined me. He spent a lot of time telling me what my problem was. I had a lot of questions. Both of my hips had so much arthritis it was making my back hurt too. We went over what I could do to help. Surgery was my best option. TotalHip replacements. I had my right hip done back in November 2017 and will be having my left hip done in April. I’m feeling so much better already and can’t wait to get the other done. During my process I have found out many people I know see Dr Sacks or their family does. When I went to the joint class at the hospital I was amazed and comforted to know just about the entire group of us in the class were patients of Dr. Sacks. I have named him the joint replacement guru. He knows his stuff.

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Marly N. Dows-Martinez, M.D. for her technical expertise and compassionate patient care. As a former military pilot, I developed lower back pain and radiating pain that she correctly identified as Sciatica. She took the time to listen and evaluate my symptoms, then methodically progressed through the levels or remediation. As a result of her actions, the excruciating radiating pain down my thigh and legs have gone from a 10 plus to a 1-2 level. Well done and thank you so much.

Dr Charles E. Claps is a top notch orthopedic surgeon! He replaced my left hip using the anterior approach. The next day I was released from the hospital, able to walk on my own although using a walker and cane for a few days as directed. I was off pain meds 5 days after surgery and walking two miles on my own with no hip pain! Dr Claps is a patient-focused physician; he kept me informed before, during and after the process. How many surgeons call their patient the evening before surgery?!

I am a new patient. She is very friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable. I was SO impressed with her, that I am passing her business cards on to several of my friends who would benefit from seeing her. I truly wish all doctors connected with her patients like she does. In addition, her staff has been working for her for a long time. This tells me that she treats her employees well. May good things continue to happen for Dr. Satterwhite!
