Hip Pain Location Diagram

Hip pain can be attributed to a variety of conditions. The location of the pain can often guide towards its cause. For example, anterior hip pain is commonly associated with joint problems such as arthritis or a labral tear. On the other hand, lateral hip pain can be a sign of conditions such as hip bursitis or deep gluteal syndrome.

Hip injuries are a broader category that includes fractures and sprains, dislocations, and strains in the hip area.
