The hip flexors are a group of muscles that run along the front of the hip. They help move the thigh and buttocks toward the midline of the body. When these muscles are working properly, they help you move more easily and efficiently. However, if these muscles are injured, they can cause pain and dysfunction. In general, the hip flexors can be injured in a number of ways. They can be pulled or strained in the hip joint, or they can be caused by a problem with the ligaments that support the hip joint. Furthermore, they can be injured while you are exercising or while you are doing everyday activities. If you are experiencing pain in your hip flexors, it is important to see a doctor. He or she can check to see if the pain is caused by an injury, and then he or she can help you figure out a way to treat the injury. In most cases, surgery is not necessary, but your doctor may recommend it if the injury is severe.
