    There is additionally no strong research on the effectiveness of hip core decompression for people with sickle cell disease. [11] The disease's progression may be halted by transplanting nucleated cells from the bone marrow into avascular necrosis lesions after core decompression. However, much further research is needed to establish this ...

    While some of the success of surgery may just be due to the natural history of the disease, the surgery groups still have an improvement in outcomes over conservative measures. A systematic review found that surgical treatment outweighed the benefits over conservative treatment overall all outcome measures, however conservative treatment caused ...

    It is a common clinical experience, that even chronic entrapments with longstanding muscle weakness and sensory disturbances sometimes show a very rapid reversibility of some or all of the symptoms after surgical decompression of the nerve. [5] A large number of nerve decompression surgeries achieve 25+% cure rate, and 75+% success rate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_gluteal_syndrome

    The sciatic nerve is highly mobile in the deep gluteal space with hip and even knee movements. [7] For example, hip flexion with knee extension (also called a straight leg raise) causes the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space to move 28mm towards the center of the body. [14] Hip movements may also create dynamic impingement between muscles.

  6. Dysbaric osteonecrosis - Wikipedia

    This process takes place over months to years and eventually causes disabling arthritis, particularly of the femoral head (hip). [2] Dysbaric osteonecrosis lesions are typically bilateral and usually occur at both ends of the femur and at the proximal end of the humerus. Symptoms are usually only present when a joint surface is involved, which ...

    The symptoms are pain in the hip region on walking, and tenderness over the upper part of the femur, which may result in the inability to lie in comfort on the affected side. [citation needed] More often the lateral hip pain is caused by disease of the gluteal tendons that secondarily inflames the bursa. This is most common in middle-aged women ...

    Hip adduction is a strengthening exercise for the piriformis muscle. A cable attached at the ankle can be used to adduct the hip, bringing the leg in toward the opposite side of the body. The same equipment can also be used for hip abduction, where the leg starts beside the opposing leg and moves out to the side, away from the body.
