Hip Bursitis - Hip bursitis is a common injury often seen in athletes who run or participate in sports such as soccer or football. The bursa (a fluid filled sac between the hip and the tendon that passes over the bone) becomes inflamed, and instead of allowing for smooth motion, causes pain each time the tendon has to move over the bone. Hip bursitis symptoms can be quite painful, as patients with hip bursitis move this tendon with every step.

Snapping hip syndrome - Characterized by a snapping sensation and often an audible 'popping' noise, Snapping hip syndrome is a condition when the hip is flexed and extended. This condition is commonly due to tendons catching on bony prominences and "snapping" when there is any movement of the hip. This can be caused by Iliotibial Band Snap, Iliopsoas Tendon Snap or, less often, a Hip Labral Tear.
