Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): This condition is characterized by abnormal contact between the femoral head and the acetabulum, leading to pain and limited mobility. It is a common cause of anterior hip pain, especially in young, active individuals.

Hip Flexor Strain: Strains to the hip flexor muscles, such as the iliopsoas, can cause anterior hip pain, especially with activities that involve hip flexion.
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease can cause pain in the anterior hip, especially with weight-bearing activities.
Labral Tear: Tears of the acetabular labrum can cause anterior hip pain, often accompanied by clicking or catching sensations.
Snapping Hip Syndrome: This condition, also known as coxa saltans, is characterized by a snapping sensation in the hip, often accompanied by pain.

Septic Arthritis: Bacterial infection of the hip joint can cause severe pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term damage.
Avascular Necrosis: Ischemic necrosis of the femoral head can cause severe pain and limited mobility. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent collapse of the femoral head.
Stress Fracture: Fractures of the femoral neck or acetabulum can cause anterior hip pain, especially with weight-bearing activities.

Piriformis Syndrome: Compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle can cause pain in the anterior hip, as well as numbness and tingling in the leg.
Intra-abdominal Pathology: Conditions such as appendicitis or diverticulitis can refer pain to the anterior hip.
Tumors: Benign or malignant tumors of the hip or surrounding tissues can cause anterior hip pain, often accompanied by other symptoms such as weight loss or night pain.
