Abstract
SYNOPSIS: This editorial critically evaluates how hip-related pain is currently managed, highlighting the limitations of traditional biomedical interventions alone in restoring optimal function and well-being. Psychological factors are key determinants of outcomes after surgical and nonsurgical treatment. We highlight the need for a holistic, patient-centered approach in evaluating and treating hip-related pain. Shifting to a holistic, patient-centered approach can improve treatment outcomes and reduce patient suffering. We guide readers to the impact of psychological factors on treatment outcomes, provide clinical considerations for how clinicians might approach psychologically informed practice, and outline future research directions.
