Abstract
BACKGROUND: Muscular and apophyseal injuries in the inguinal region are a common cause of groin pain in athletes. PURPOSE: Frequently occurring muscular and apophyseal injuries in the groin region are described. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fundamental studies and expert recommendations are discussed. Examination protocols for routine clinical practice are presented. RESULTS: The exact diagnosis and classification of muscular or apophyseal injuries in the inguinal region are the basic prerequisites for the initiation of a targeted treatment and thus crucial for the return to sport time. These injuries are occurring with increasing frequency in both professional and recreational sports. CONCLUSION: In addition to the clinical examination and the history of the course of the injury, MRI plays an important role in the evaluation of muscular and apophyseal injuries in the inguinal region.
