Hip Joint Osteoarthritis
Hip joint osteoarthritis can cause pain in the groin area. Sometimes this pain can travel/radiate to the anterior thigh or knee and mimic lumbar radiculopathy.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head occurs when the blood supply to the ball of the ball and socket hip joint is damaged and the bone dies. This can lead to a gradual onset of groin pain. Sometimes this pain can travel/radiate to the anterior thigh or knee and mimic lumbar radiculopathy.
