S73: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joint and ligaments of hip
S73.1: Sprain and strain of hip
A sprain and strain of the hip occur when the muscles, ligaments, or tendons around the hip joint are stretched or torn due to forceful movements or accidents. This damage often results from sudden twists, falls, direct blows, or overuse from repetitive movements. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the affected hip. Pain might be felt immediately after the injury or it could develop gradually. An individual may also experience bruising in the hip area and weakness in the leg. As the severity of sprain and strain vary, some individuals might briefly face these symptoms while others could have prolonged issues, affecting their daily mobility and activities. The condition does not transmit from person to person as it is an injury, not a disease or infection.
