About Hip Sprain

A hip sprain is an injury to the ligaments, the tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones to each other, around the hip joint. While less common than ankle or knee sprains, a hip sprain typically occurs due to a sudden twist, fall, or impact that forces the joint beyond its normal range of motion. Orthopedic specialists diagnose this condition through a physical exam, assessing pain, swelling, and range of motion, and may use imaging like X-rays or MRI to rule out fractures or other injuries. Treatment is primarily conservative, focusing on the RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), pain management, and guided physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility. Understanding the severity, from a mild Grade I stretch to a complete Grade III tear, is crucial for an effective recovery plan and preventing long-term instability.

Key Highlights

    Non-surgical, conservative management is effective for the vast majority of hip sprains.Early intervention with the RICE protocol can significantly reduce pain and swelling.Structured physical therapy helps restore full range of motion, strength, and stability.Prevents chronic issues like joint instability, weakness, or early-onset arthritis.Personalized rehabilitation plans ensure a safe return to daily activities and sports.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Acute pain in the hip or groin following a traumatic event like a fall or sports injury.
  • Difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg or noticeable limping.
  • Swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the hip joint.

  • Limited range of motion, especially with rotation or spreading the leg.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial Phase (1-7 days): Strict rest, ice application, and use of crutches if needed to avoid weight-bearing.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
