Hip and buttock pains in adults require careful evaluation to determine exactly what anatomical structure the patient is referring to when presenting with 'pain in the hip'. Pain in the posterior hip region and buttocks usually originates from dysfunction of the lumbosacral spine. Osteoarthritis of the hip is an important disorder that can refer pain to the anteromedial aspect of the knee.
