It can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced hip motion that may affect walking, stairs, and daily tasks. Clinicians use the term to describe a specific pattern of hip joint degeneration seen on exam and imaging. It is discussed in primary care, orthopedics, sports medicine, rheumatology, and physical therapy settings."}
