“…A lack of general eccentric hip adduction strength adaptation in soccer players is an interesting finding since this could possibly be related to the high prevalence of adductor-related injuries in soccer players 2 32. Kicking motions, sprinting and sudden change of direction place great stress to the adductor longus muscle–tendinous complex,33–35 and an adequate eccentric hip adduction strength capacity may, therefore, protect the adductors during these stressful activities…”

“…Groin injuries are also known from other sports such as ice hockey, running, tennis, rugby, American football, basketball and others. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] No comparative prospective studies are published considering matched populations and the rate of exposure between different sports. Renström and Petterson 1 described differential diagnoses among 55 athletes from different sports with groin pain.…”

Long-standing groin pain in sportspeople falls into three primary patterns, a “clinical entity” approach: a prospective study of 207 patients

Background: Groin pain remains a major challenge in sports medicine. Aim: To examine 207 consecutive athletes (196 men, 11 women) with groin pain using a standardised and reliable clinical examination programme that focused on signs that suggest pathology in (1) the adductors, (2) the ilopsoas and (3) the rectus abdominis. Patients and methods: Most patients were football players (66%) and runners (18%). In this cohort, the clinical pattern consistent with adductor-related dysfunction, was the primary clinical entity in 58% of the patients and in 69% of the football players. Iliopsoas-related dysfunction was the primary clinical entity in 36% of the patients. Rectus abdominis-related dysfunction was found in 20 (10%) patients but it was associated with adductor-related pain in 18 of these patients. Multiple clinical entities were found in 69 (33%) patients; of these, 16 patients had three clinical entities. Conclusions: These descriptive data extend previous findings that physical examination for groin pain can be reliable. While underscoring the prevalence of adductor-related physical examination abnormality in football players, the data highlight the prevalence of examination findings localising to the iliopsoas among this cohort. Also, the fact that combinations of clinical entities were present has important implications for treatment. The finding of multiple abnormal clinical entities also raises the possibility that earlier presentation may be prudent; it is tempting to speculate that one clinical entity likely precedes other developing entities. These data argue for the need for a trial where clinical entities are correlated with systematic investigation including MRI and ultrasonography.

“…To examine the adductor insertion, the transducer is placed longitudinally along the long axis of the tendon insertion to the pubis. Hip adductor injuries usually occur in combination with hip hyperabduction and abdominal wall hyperextension, occasionally with forced external rotation of the leg [13]. The most commonly affected muscles are the adductor longus and the gracilis [14].…”
