M24.35: Pathological dislocation and subluxation of joint, not elsewhere classified Pelvic region and thigh
You have partially or fully dislocated your hip joint.
The hip joints are outside, to the side of the pelvis. They connect the pelvis to the thighbones. The hip joints enable the legs to be moved in different directions.
When a joint is dislocated, the bones in the joint are no longer properly aligned. The affected part of the body can then no longer be moved properly. One may also have pain in the joint.
You have dislocated your hip due to a disorder. This may be, for example, an inflamed joint or a condition of the nerves or muscles.
