“…Surgical outcomes vary significantly, but ultimately, >80% of athletes return to their prior level of sporting activity without limitations. 2,3,5,6,8,9,12,14,15,19,20,22 There is a subset of athletes that present with both symptomatic intra-articular hip disorders and sports hernia/athletic pubalgia. Management of both may be necessary in some instances to improve outcomes.…”

“…A recent study reported on 43 National Hockey League hockey players who had sports hernia surgery over 7 years (Table 1). 14 In the end, most of the previously mentioned studies report short-term follow-up with return to sports as the end-point. Specific outcomes measures and longer term follow-up is not available for the majority of these studies, making it difficult to identify a clearly superior surgical technique or the long-term benefit of such procedures.…”

“…Reports after sports hernia/athletic pubalgia surgeries have demonstrated a predictable return to athletics. 3,6,8,12-14,16,19-21,24 The variety of procedures and lack of outcomes measures in these studies, however, make it difficult to determine if one surgical approach is clearly superior. There is also increasing awareness of an association between range of motion–limiting hip disorders (femoroacetabular impingement [FAI]) and sports hernia/athletic pubalgia in a subset of athletes.…”

Context:Sports hernia/athletic pubalgia has received increasing attention as a source of disability and time lost from athletics. Studies are limited, however, lacking consistent objective criteria for making the diagnosis and assessing outcomes.Evidence Acquisition:PubMed database through January 2013 and hand searches of the reference lists of pertinent articles.Study Design:Review article.Level of Evidence:Level 5.Results:Nonsurgical outcomes have not been well reported. Various surgical approaches have return-to–athletic activity rates of >80% regardless of the approach. The variety of procedures and lack of outcomes measures in these studies make it difficult to compare one surgical approach to another. There is increasing evidence that there is an association between range of motion–limiting hip disorders (femoroacetabular impingement) and sports hernia/athletic pubalgia in a subset of athletes. This has added increased complexity to the decision-making process regarding treatment.Conclusion:An association between femoroacetabular impingement and athletic pubalgia has been recognized, with better outcomes reported when both are managed concurrently or in a staged manner.

Ice hockey is a fast-paced sport played by increasing numbers of children and adolescents in North America and around the world. Requiring a unique blend of skill, finesse, power and teamwork, ice hockey can become a lifelong recreational activity. Despite the rising popularity of the sport, there is ongoing concern about the high frequency of musculoskeletal injury associated with participation in ice hockey. Injury rates in ice hockey are among the highest in all competitive sports. Numerous research studies have been implemented to better understand the risks of injury. As a result, rule changes were adopted by the USA Hockey and Hockey Canada to raise the minimum age at which body checking is permitted to 13–14 years (Bantam level) from 11–12 years (Pee Wee). Continuing the education of coaches, parents and players on rules of safe play, and emphasizing the standards for proper equipment use are other strategies being implemented to make the game safer to play. The objective of this article was to review the evaluation, management and prevention of common lower extremity youth hockey injuries.

“…Only one player, an NHL goalie, was unable to resume his playing career. With regard to effects of surgical intervention on actual game play performance, Jakoi et al 56 compared NHL game play statistics for 43 players 2 seasons before surgical repair and after surgical repair for core muscle injury and found that, in general, all players returned to performance levels comparable to presurgical play. However, the authors did find that those with 7 or more years of experience were more likely to have decreases in overall performance levels and concluded that older players may have less durable outcomes after surgical repair (Table 5).…”
