The Importance of a Good History of Hip Problems
Hip problems often run in the family, so asking them about family history of hip problems and also their own history of playing sport can give you some really good clues.

In younger patients, you might be more looking at a hip instability or hip and puncture type issue. Those sorts of things are all just important factors to consider.
