Diagnostic tests for Hip symptoms:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Hip symptoms. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Observe gait when walking - e.g. if walking with a limp, with the leg deviated inwards towards the other leg and the foot slightly turned outwards, the likely diagnosis is osteoarthritis.
    • Note position of leg when the person is laying flat - e.g. if after an injury or fall, the leg is shortened and turned outwards a fractured neck of the femur is the likely diagnosis; if the leg is turned inwards must suspect posterior dislocation of the hip.
    • Feel the front of the hip joint for joint tenderness and the side of the thigh for tenderness which may suggest trochanteric bursitis or gluteus medius tendonitis
    • Test range of movement of the hip joint
    • Measure leg length to detect inequalities

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Hip symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the hip symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • What particular hip symptoms do you experience? - e.g. hip pain, hip stiffness, hip swelling.
  • Are the hip symptoms unilateral or bilateral?
  • If pain is present, tell me how the pain started?
  • Could you describe the pain? - pain associated with the hip joint is usually described as a deep aching pain, aggravated by movements and felt in the groin and front to inner side of the upper thigh, sometimes exclusively around the knee.

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Hip symptoms) may include:

  • Back pain? - Pain originating from disorders of the lumbosacral spine may radiate to the hip joint.
  • Knee pain - Pain originating from disorders of the knee may radiate to the hip joint and pain from the hip joint may be referred to the thigh and knee.
  • Abdominal pain? - disorders of the abdomen may cause hip and groin pain.
