AB Hip  and  knee  pain  are  common  among  all  people.  Athletes  are  at  increased  risk  due  to  excess  forces  on  their  joints.  Knee  pain  is  usually  due  to  local  pathology  and  is  not  commonly  referred  to  other  sites.  Hip  pathology  commonly  causes  referred  pain  in  the  buttocks  and  lower  extremity,  and  pain  felt  in  the  hip  may  be  due  to  extraarticular  pathology.  The  differential  diagnosis  for  hip  or  knee  pain  is  broad  but  a  focused  history  and  physical  examination  will  often  lead  to  the  diagnosis  (Table  179-1).
