Do you deal with bending over to tie your shoelaces, climbing stairs becomes an effort, and morning stiffness becomes a daily problem? These often clear signs may actually discover hip wear and tear, which is much more popular than you might think. Long confined to the elderly, it now affects more and more active adults from the ages of 35-40.
What exactly is a worn hip?
A “worn” hip means a deterioration of the articular cartilage, this protective tissue that prevents the bones from eroding against each other. When this cartilage drops off or disappears, the friction leads to pain, stiffness, and sometimes inflammation : this is osteoarthritis of the hip (or coxarthrosis).
The main causes?
A set of factors, often mixed:
- Genetic tendency: some families are more affected.
- Overweight: every extra kilo raises the load on the joint.
- Physical occupations or repeated sports: heavy work or repetitive movements boosts wear and tear.
- History of injuries (fractures, dislocations) or joint diseases such as polyarthritis.
