Diagnosis
Timely and accurate diagnosis is the key to gaining optimal results. When you present to the clinic with hip pain or other symptoms of hip injury, your doctor will review your medical history and perform a thorough physical examination. This will provide information about posture, gait, extent of range of motion and muscular strength.
Your health care provider may also order imaging studies such as bone scans, CT scans, CT arthrography, MRI scans, MRI arthrography or sonography to view the area of injury more clearly. This helps to confirm the diagnosis.
