Right total hip arthroplasty is a surgical replacement of the right hip joint. It removes damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with artificial components. It is commonly used for advanced hip arthritis and other conditions that damage the hip. The goal is to improve hip function and reduce pain when other options are not enough.
Right stress fracture femoral neck is a small crack or injury pattern in the femoral neck of the right hip. The femoral neck is the short “bridge” of bone between the femoral head (ball) and the femur shaft. A stress fracture develops gradually when repeated loading outpaces the bone’s ability to repair. The term is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, emergency care, and radiology reports when evaluating right-sided groin or hip pain.
Right snapping hip is a condition where a person feels or hears a “snap,” “click,” or “pop” around the right hip during movement. It is a symptom pattern, not a single diagnosis, and it can be painful or painless. Clinicians use the term to describe a mechanical sensation that helps guide the physical exam and imaging choices. It is most commonly discussed in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy when evaluating hip pain or motion-related clicking.
Right SCFE means a slipped capital femoral epiphysis on the right hip. It describes a condition where the top of the thigh bone shifts at the growth plate. It is most commonly used in pediatric and adolescent orthopedics when evaluating hip, thigh, or knee pain. Clinicians also use the “right” designation for accurate imaging, documentation, and treatment planning.
Right Perthes disease is Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease affecting the right hip. It is a childhood condition in which the ball of the hip joint (the femoral head) temporarily loses part of its blood supply. Over time, the bone can soften, break down, and then gradually heal and reshape. The term is commonly used in orthopedic clinics, radiology reports, and physical therapy notes to specify the side involved.
Right periacetabular osteotomy is a hip-preservation surgery performed on the right hip socket. It reshapes and reorients the acetabulum (the “cup” of the hip joint) to better cover the femoral head. It is most commonly used for symptomatic hip dysplasia and related instability. It is typically performed by orthopedic surgeons who specialize in young adult hip conditions.
A Right labral tear is a tear in the labrum of the right hip joint. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that lines the rim of the hip socket. This term is commonly used in orthopedic and sports medicine evaluations of right-sided hip or groin pain. It may be discussed in imaging reports, clinic notes, and surgical planning.
A Right intertrochanteric fracture is a break in the upper part of the right femur (thigh bone), between the greater and lesser trochanters. It is a common type of “hip fracture,” especially after a fall in older adults. Clinicians use the term to describe the location and pattern of the fracture and to guide treatment planning. “Right” simply means the injury is on the right hip side.
Right hip dislocation is when the ball of the right thighbone is forced out of the hip socket. It is a joint injury that can happen in high-energy trauma, sports, or after hip replacement surgery. Clinicians use the term to describe the side (right), the joint involved (hip), and the injury pattern (dislocation). It commonly appears in emergency care, orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and radiology reports.
Right hip pain is discomfort felt around the right hip joint or nearby structures. It can come from the hip itself, the pelvis, or areas that refer pain into the hip region. The term is commonly used in clinics, imaging reports, and physical therapy notes to describe a symptom, not a single diagnosis. Its location, timing, and triggers help clinicians narrow down possible causes.
