What Causes Hip Impingement?

Coxa Vara

Just as in the childhood condition Perthes disease, coxa vara occurs during the growing years of life. When a child suffers from coxa vara, the ball and thigh bone do not experience the same rate of growth. This leads to deformation of the hip joint. Surgical correction may be called for to correct this abnormality of the shaft of the femur and femoral neck. This particular abnormality occurs when there is a decreased angle of the neck to the shaft; it is also known as a varus alignment. This aberration can lead to hip degeneration and pain.
