Osteoarthritis of the hip joint - causes, symptoms and treatment options<\/span><\/h2>\n

Osteoarthritis of the hip joint, known as Coxarthrosis<\/strong>is a degenerative joint disease that affects the hip joint. This form of Osteoarthritis<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most common joint diseases and occurs mainly in older people, but can also affect younger adults.<\/p>\n

What is hip osteoarthritis?<\/h2>\n

The hip joint is made up of the acetabulum (part of the pelvic bone) and the femoral head (part of the thigh bone). In a healthy joint, a thick layer of cartilage protects the joint surfaces and acts as a shock absorber and lubricant. This layer enables pain-free and smooth movement of the hip joint. However, if the cartilage becomes thinner and wears away, this is known as hip osteoarthritis. The first cracks and gaps in the cartilage are early signs of this disease.<\/p>\n
