Brief Answer:
Hip arthritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

This phenomenon can be seen with possible arthritis and deformity, with/without muscle weakness.

I suggest you get an Xray of the involved hip. You can use a walker or crutches during mobilisation.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
