| 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 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.

| osteoarthritis, hip | Noninflammatory degenerative disease of the hip joint which usually appears in late middle or old age. It is characterised by growth or maturational disturbances in the femoral neck and head, as well as acetabular dysplasia. A dominant symptom is pain on weight-bearing or motion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| triceps muscle of hip | <anatomy> The obturator internus and superior and inferior gemellus muscles considered as one muscle, inserting via a single tendon into the greater trochanter of the femur. Synonym: musculus triceps coxae, triceps muscle of hip. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: erythrocyte adherence phenomenon, immune adherence phenomenon, red cell adherence phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
