M67.25: Synovial hypertrophy, not elsewhere classified Pelvic region and thigh
The thin membrane of a joint capsule or a tendon sheath has become enlarged in 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.
Joints are encased in a joint capsule. A tendon sheath is a covering for the tendon. It cushions the tendon and contains a small amount of fluid. This reduces friction between the tendon and its surroundings. Joint capsules and tendon sheaths have a thin membrane lining inside.
