Hip pain can be caused by osteoarthritis, tendon or muscle injury, bursitis, labral problems, bone injury, or pain referred from the spine. Examination and appropriate imaging help determine whether the problem is inside the joint or in the surrounding tissues.
PRP and bone-marrow-derived preparations are offered for selected hip-joint and tendon conditions. Evidence is more limited and technically variable than it is for knee osteoarthritis, and deeper targets generally require image guidance. These procedures cannot correct every structural cause of hip pain.
Ask which structure is causing the symptoms, whether the injection will be guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy, and how rehabilitation will be coordinated. A complete discussion should include established nonsurgical care and when surgical consultation may be useful.
