If you hear a sound from your hip, especially during sports activities, without experiencing hip pain, it indicates the looseness of the ligaments that hold the femoral head in its socket, where it attaches.
The looseness in the ligaments causes the femoral head to move more than it should within the joint during movements, leading to the sound.
If the sound persists as time goes on, the cause could be related to osteoarthritis.
If the sound occurs without hip pain, it means your ligaments have become lax.
Therefore, it is important to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the relevant joint to prevent the condition from progressing to osteoarthritis.
