Why does the bone near the hip joint make a clicking sound when I kick my leg?
Disease description:
Recently, I’ve been doing physical exercise, and I noticed a clicking sound coming from the bone area near the top of my thigh when kicking. Could you please explain what causes this clicking sound near the hip joint during kicking?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Zhuo
A clicking or popping sound in the hip joint during leg movements may be caused by several factors:
1. Conditions such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip joint, or hip synovitis.
2. Trauma to the acetabulum—for example, acetabular labral tear.
3. Significantly increased negative pressure within the joint space.
Please seek prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital.
