TOSM’s board-certified orthopedists specialize in  the care of the knees, hips, and shoulders to include degenerative conditions of these areas and perform arthroscopy and joint replacement surgery when clinically indicated. 

What Causes Knee, Hip, & Shoulder Pain?

• Age
• Infection
• Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
• Sports-related injuries (strains, sprains, dislocations, fractures)
• Repetitive motion disorders (bursitis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears)

To prevent injury, the orthopedic doctors at Texas Sport & Orthopaedic Center recommend introducing more active exercises to strengthen the muscles around your hips, knees and shoulders. Eating a healthy diet with enough vitamin D and calcium maintains strong bones. If you have suffered an injury, contact our team today and schedule an appointment to see our board-certified knee doctors, hip doctors, or shoulder doctors. The potential for injuries increases greatly when medical attention is delayed.

Snapping Hip

This is a snapping or a popping sensation in your hip. It may happen when you stand up, when you walk, or when you move your leg a certain way.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear (ACL Tear)

This injury is a tearing of the ACL ligament in the knee joint. The ACL ligament is one of the bands of tissue that connects the femur to the tibia. An ACL tear can be painful. It can cause the knee to become unstable.

Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis) of the Knee

This condition occurs when a bone's normal blood supply is disrupted. The affected bone cells die and the dead bone weakens. The bone may begin to fracture and collapse, leading to arthritis.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Knee pain may keep you from being as active as you like. And it may come from a gradual breakdown of your knee's cartilage. That's a protective tissue on the ends of your bones. In a healthy knee, the bones glide smoothly against each other. But in a knee with osteoarthritis, cartilage begins to wear away. Bone rubs against bone. Bony bumps we call "bone spurs" may form.

Rotator Cuff Tear

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in each shoulder. It holds your upper arm bone in your shoulder socket. It keeps your arm stable while allowing it to lift and rotate. Too much stress on the rotator cuff can cause a tear. This can be a painful injury.
