Summary:Abstract A thorough evaluation of the hip must include a comprehensive medical and surgical history focused on the hip joint, surrounding soft tissues, and the associated structures of the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. These details can guide the physical examination and provide insight into the cause of the patient's chief complaints. A proper examination includes physical examination while the patient is in the upright, supine, prone, and lateral position, as well as an evaluation of gait. Guided by a thorough history, the physical examination enables the surgeon to distinguish between intra-articular and extra-articular contributors to hip pain, selection of appropriate imaging modalities, and ultimately supports medical decision making.
