Type: Symptom
Definition
Agonizing, unbearable discomfort in the hip and groin.
Clinical Details
The traumatic extraction of the femur from its deep socket violently tears the thick joint capsule, major ligaments, and surrounding muscle groups. This results in excruciating, paralyzing pain that radiates through the entire hip, groin, and lower back. The patient is absolutely incapable of moving the leg.
