Abstract des Autors
Groin pain is a frustration for both patient and therapist. Whilst there has been much discussion on this subject in the literature over recent years, there has been little real progress in defining simple diagnoses and rapid and effective treatments for the range of conditions that currently purport to produce groin pain. This discussion describes the approach taken by the author to the management of groin pain in athletes and considers the patterns of pain, biomechanical factors, anatomical structures, and diagnostic tests, clinical and technical, that are all relevant. Not all these tests are proven, and much of the understanding of groin pain is empirical. Even when a diagnosis has been made, treatment is not easy because of the difficulty of facilitating the healing of the many anatomical structures involved, and because so many modalities and methods are unproved.
