Right hip osteoarthritis: Definition, Uses, and Clinical Overview
Right hip osteoarthritis is wear-and-tear–type arthritis affecting the ball-and-socket joint on the right side. It involves gradual breakdown of joint cartilage and changes in the underlying bone. It is a common cause of right-sided groin, thigh, or buttock pain and stiffness. The term is used in orthopedic clinics, sports medicine, primary care, and physical therapy settings.
