Bilateral hip injection refers to an injection performed on both hips, typically in the same visit or in close succession. It most often means image-guided medication placed into each hip joint to help evaluate or reduce hip pain. In some settings, it can also describe injections around hip tendons or bursae on both sides. It is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and interventional pain care.
Bilateral hip effusion means there is extra fluid inside **both** hip joints. It is usually a **finding** on imaging (such as ultrasound or MRI), not a diagnosis by itself. Clinicians use the term when describing hip pain, limping, stiffness, or reduced motion. It helps focus the evaluation on conditions that irritate the hip joint lining.
Bilateral hip dysplasia means both hip joints have a shallow or misaligned socket. It can affect infants, children, adolescents, or adults. It is commonly discussed in orthopedics, sports medicine, physical therapy, and radiology reports. It matters because socket shape influences hip stability, pain, and long-term joint wear.
Bilateral hip arthroscopy is hip arthroscopy performed for both hips. Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small camera to view the hip joint. It is commonly used in orthopedics and sports medicine to diagnose and treat certain hip problems. It may be done on both hips during one anesthetic session or in two separate operations.
Bilateral femoroacetabular impingement is a hip condition where both hip joints have abnormal contact during movement. It happens when the ball-and-socket parts of the hip do not fit or glide together smoothly. This can contribute to hip or groin pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. The term is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy when evaluating hip pain in active and non-active people.
Biceps femoris is one of the three hamstring muscles on the back of the thigh. It helps bend the knee and extend the hip during standing, walking, and running. Clinicians commonly discuss it when evaluating posterior thigh pain, lateral knee pain, or hamstring strains. It is also important in sports medicine and physical therapy because it contributes to speed, stability, and gait mechanics.
The Barlow maneuver is a hands-on clinical exam used to check hip stability in infants. It helps clinicians identify a hip that can be gently dislocated with specific positioning and pressure. It is most commonly used in newborn and early infancy screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It is often discussed alongside the Ortolani maneuver, which assesses hip reduction.
Balance training is exercise-based practice designed to improve how the body stays upright and steady. It targets coordination between the brain, eyes, inner ear, and muscles around joints such as the hip, knee, and ankle. It is commonly used in physical therapy, sports medicine, orthopedics, and fall-prevention programs. It can be part of rehabilitation after injury or surgery, or used to support long-term joint health.
Avascular necrosis staging is a way clinicians describe how far avascular necrosis (AVN) has progressed in a bone and joint. It organizes imaging and exam findings into “stages,” from early changes to structural collapse and arthritis. It is most commonly applied to AVN of the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint). It helps orthopedic teams communicate clearly and compare options over time.
Avascular necrosis is a condition where bone tissue is damaged because it is not getting enough blood. It is often discussed in orthopedics when hip pain is persistent or when imaging shows bone changes. It most commonly affects the femoral head (the “ball” of the hip joint). It may also be called osteonecrosis in clinical settings.
