Varies: There are a number of potential causes, and an exam can usually degermine the cause. There is a condition known as snapping hip syndrome, for example. A contracture of the tensor fascia lata, which is a tendon on the outside of the hip, can cause the hip to pop as the hip is flexed and extended. A slight instability of the hip can also cause it to sublux in and out as well. Thank you.
