The largest bone in the human body is the pelvis, or “hip bone” (It’s actually made up of six bones that are joined together.) Its size reflects how important it is in just about every move we make – sitting, standing, bending, turning, walking. All that movement, makes the hip susceptible to injury and arthritis.
If you’re experiencing any pain in your hip you want to be seen by a physician who is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of hip problems – from the simple to the serious. In Western New York, Excelsior Orthopaedics is THE place to go.
