Aetiology of hip pain in young adults is variable. Hip pain can be caused by an intra- or extra-articular pathology affecting the hip region or can be referred from other areas in the body. The improvement in both clinical assessment and imaging modalities of the hip joint have resulted in more accurate diagnosis of causes of hip pain in adolescents and young adult patients. The treatment of painful hip in young adults is mainly directed to managing the cause of hip pain. In this article, we discuss some of the common causes of hip pain in young adults and their current modalities of treatment.
