Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is not the same as hip impingement, because in hip dysplasia the socket is too small and too steep for the femoral head, so that the head tends to partially or completely “dislocate”, i.e. luxate. In hip impingement, on the other hand, the acetabulum tends to be too large and covers too much of the femoral head. In this case, there is less risk of dislocation, but movement restrictions may occur.
In both cases, damage can occur to the acetabulum, the joint lip (labrum) and the joint cartilage. This can lead to arthrosis as a late consequence. In addition, both diseases can also occur simultaneously.
Hip dysplasia is a congenital disease that can be detected early by newborn screening in Germany and treated accordingly. Conservative therapy includes, for example, spreader pants or other aids that promote the maturing of the joint and correct the malposition. In severe cases or those that are detected too late, an osteotomy can be performed surgically to restore the functional roofing of the femoral head by the acetabulum.

Hip Arthrosis
Hip arthrosis is a wear and tear disease of the hip joint, in which the joint cartilage continues to deteriorate. When the articular cartilage no longer protects the underlying bone, bone rubs against bone, resulting in pain, restricted mobility and muscle tension. ossifications can form on the joint surfaces, which further intensify the symptoms.
Any deviation from the healthy shape of the joint surfaces can promote early arthrosis, including hip impingement. Symptoms are joint and groin pain, a typical start-up pain after getting up, restricted movement and possibly crunching noises in the joint. Arthrosis can be treated conservatively with exercise, physiotherapy and physical therapy. There are also a number of surgical treatment options, including total hip replacement (TEP).
