The causes of hip popping include tendon thickening, hip internal rotation, tumor, osteoarthritis, joint trauma, and physiological reasons, etc. It often occurs in people with high-frequency use of hip joint and repeated injuries.
1. Tendon thickening: due to repeated trauma and hip joint strain, the tendons around the hip joint can be thickened, so the thickened tendons will slide back and forth in the femur when the hip joint is in motion, which will make a popping sound.
2. Hip internal rotation: there is structural abnormality in the hip joint, and when the hip joint moves, the local muscle pressure increases, which is more likely to lead to hip joint strain and thus popping sound.
3. Tumor: Osteochondroma is commonly found in the greater trochanter of femur, at this time, the local bone appears abnormal bulging, and the friction with the tendon can lead to hip joint popping when exercising.
4. Osteoarthritis: it is mainly caused by unbalanced weight bearing on the joint surface for a long time, including primary osteoarthritis, which is related to heredity, obesity and other physical qualities of oneself, and secondary osteoarthritis, such as secondary to congenital dislocation of the hip joint, infection of the hip joint, hip fracture and other diseases.
5. Joint trauma: when the hip joint is traumatized, it can lead to local cartilage damage, joint abnormality, etc., and popping sound can also occur during activities.
In addition, under the physiological state, if the hip muscle tension, spasm, gluteal muscle contracture, leading to the tension of the broad fascia tensor muscle, can also cause the broad fascia tensor muscle in the femur at the big thick rumble sliding, resulting in snapping sound.
There are many other causes of hip snapping, if there is pain and discomfort, limited hip movement and other symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, improve the relevant examination, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor targeted treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
