| congenital dysplasia of the hip | A malformation of the hip joint that is present at birth. Genetic factors likely play a role in this disorder. Features include hip dislocation, asymmetry of leg positions, asymmetric fat folds and diminished movement on the affected side. Some children will exhibit little or no features and must be diagnosed by physical examination of the hip joints. (27 Sep 1997) |

| hip bone | A large flat bone formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis (in the adult), constituting the lateral half of the pelvis; it articulates with its fellow anteriorly, with the sacrum posteriorly, and with the femur laterally. Synonym: os coxae, coxa, coxal bone, innominate bone, os innominatum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hip bursitis | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the hip. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip contracture | Permanent fixation of the hip in primary positions, with limited passive or active motion at the hip joint. Locomotion is difficult and pain is sometimes present when the hip is in motion. It may be caused by trauma, infection, or poliomyelitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip disease | <radiology> Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), congenital dislocation, acquired hip dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dislocation | <radiology> Usually posterior, hip flexed, knee hits dashboard during deceleration, superior migration of femoral head, with or without acetabular fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dislocation, congenital | Congenital dislocation of the hip generally includes subluxation of the femoral head, acetabular dysplasia, and complete dislocation of the femoral head from the true acetabulum. This condition occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 live births and is more common in females than in males. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip dysplasia | A developmental disease of dogs in which joint instability due to disconformity of the head of the femur and the acetabulum allows excessive movement of the femoral head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hip dysplasia, canine | A hereditary disease of the hip joints in dogs. Signs of the disease may be evident any time after 4 weeks of age. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hip-flexion phenomenon | When a hemiplegic attempts to rise from a lying posture, the hip on the paralysed side is flexed first; the same movement takes place on lying down. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hip fracture | <orthopaedics> A fracture of the hip commonly occurs in the neck of the femur (thigh bone). The elderly and those who suffer from osteoporosis are at greatest risk. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hip fractures | Fractures of the femur head, the femur neck, the trochanters, or the inter- or subtrochanteric region. Excludes fractures of the acetabulum and fractures of the femoral shaft below the subtrochanteric region. For the fractures of the femur neck the specific term femoral neck fractures is available.
