if it is on the inside side of your hip it could be the tendon snapping over one of the boney parts of a bone, or if its the outside it could be the band snapping. its not always accompanied by pain, but mine is whenever i sprint or the day after exercise. there are some stretches you could try to try to stretch out the tendons, or physical therapy is reccomended. if neither of these are effected after a good amount of time there surgery you can do.
Last thursday I had my right leg crossed over my left with my knee leaning against the edge of my desk while sitting. A coworker thought it would be funny to hit my knee. They hit me really hard right on the Vastus Medalius Muscle. It was originally just a little sore but over the next day or so i didn't feel any pain. Over the weekend I started to get more pain below my knee right on the Pes Anserinus Bursa that makes it painful to walk and run alot.
Ok, so the end of last academic year, i had this bad pain that was right above the knee, not in the joint, but above it, but after a while it went away, and i was happy.

The pain has not gone away, btw i was put on crutches and this leg brace thing that only lets me bend 90 degrees.

When I landed, i felt a sharp pain in the middle of my left knee. I did not feel any popping, just a very sharp pain right behidn the patella. I didn't think anything of it that day, and it never bruised or swelled. I laid off the knee for the remainder of the week, but when i started lifting the next week, anything that put stress on the knee hurt. Squats, Legpress, Deadlifts, they all hurt right at the middle of the knee behind the patella.
Find out the purpose of the surgery and how it relates to the diagnosis of your diagnosis. For example, is the procedure designed to relieve pain? Reduce symptoms? Improve function? What will rehabilitation be like? Can I expect pain managementt during rehab?
