Common hip conditions treated

Hip conditions can affect mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. These may develop gradually, such as in arthritis, or occur more suddenly due to injury or structural abnormalities within the joint. Dr Razvan Stoita manages a broad range of hip conditions, including labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip dysplasia, and degenerative joint disease. Patients may experience groin pain, stiffness, clicking sensations, or difficulty with movement and daily activities.

Each condition is assessed in detail to identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate management strategy. Treatment may include non-surgical care or surgical hip procedures, depending on the severity and progression of the condition.

Hip Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)

Progressive wear of the hip joint cartilage causing the bones to rub together, leading to groin pain, stiffness and reduced function that worsens over time.

Read More

Inflammatory Arthritis of the Hip

Immune-mediated conditions such as rheumatoid or ankylosing spondylitis that attack the hip joint lining, causing persistent inflammation, progressive joint damage and systemic symptoms.

Read More

Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)

Abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabular rim during movement, damaging the labrum and cartilage, and a leading cause of hip pain and early arthritis in active adults.

Read More

Hip Labral Tears

Damage to the fibrocartilage rim of the hip socket — causing groin pain, clicking and a sensation of giving way, most commonly associated with FAI or hip dysplasia.

Read More

Avascular Necrosis of the Hip

Interruption of blood supply to the femoral head causing bone cell death, leading to progressive collapse of the joint and, if untreated, secondary osteoarthritis requiring hip replacement.

Read More

Hip Fractures

A break in the upper femur — most commonly from a fall in elderly patients with osteoporosis, requiring prompt surgical stabilisation to allow early mobilisation and restore independence.

Read More

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome

Tendinopathy or tearing of the gluteal tendons at the greater trochanter causing persistent outer hip pain, aggravated by lying on the side, climbing stairs and prolonged walking.

Read More

Snapping Hip Syndrome & Iliopsoas Tendinitis

A snapping or clicking sensation around the hip caused by a tendon flicking over a bony prominence which can become painful and affect athletes, dancers and active patients.

Read More

Piriformis Syndrome

Irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle causing deep buttock pain that radiates down the leg, often mimicking sciatica from the lumbar spine.

Read More

Septic Arthritis of the Hip

A bacterial infection within the hip joint requiring urgent surgical washout and antibiotics — rapidly destructive to cartilage if not treated promptly, particularly in children and the elderly.

Read More

Hip Dysplasia

A shallow or poorly oriented hip socket that fails to adequately cover the femoral head, overloading the labrum and cartilage, and one of the leading causes of early hip arthritis in young adults.

Paediatric & Adolescent Hip Conditions

Childhood hip disorders can cause lasting damage and early arthritis in adulthood if not identified and treated early.
