ABSTRACT: Hip joint osteoarthritis, a widespread disabling disease with no known cause, produces considerable bouts of intractable pain as a result of multiple disease associated problems. This paper examines some sources of osteoarthritic hip joint pain, a poorly understood topic at best. Presented in three parts are data retrieved from several sources, including animal models. It is concluded that to improve the effectiveness of treatments designed to minimize hip osteoarthritis pain, a better understanding of the diverse origins of hip joint pain, and hip joint neurology, may permit the development of more precise as well as targeted pain strategies.
