None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Altman et al’s1 criteria included hip internal rotation less than 15° and an age of over 50 years. Age appears to be the main factor that limits using Berma-Zeinstra et al’s3 and Altman et al’s1 specific criteria for clinical diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis, because our patient was under 50 years old.

Detailed explanation-2: -Signs and Symptoms People with hip impingement often describe their pain by making a “C” with the thumb and hand and placing it on the fold at the front and side of the hip. This is called the “C” sign. Groin pain or discomfort in the outside of the hip, thigh, low back, or buttocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hip stiffness is the feeling that your hip joint doesn’t move as easily as it once did, and it’s generally painful. You may feel as if your hip is clicking or popping as you move. Your range of motion may also be affected. Sometimes hip stiffness may make you move more slowly than you used to.
