Edwin Goedhart Groincomplaints in professional footballers
EpidemiologyElite level • Ekstrand e.a. – UCL Study • 14% hip / groinregion(1.1/1000hr)
Adductorlonguslesion Painfulsensationwhileshooting, scores but had to besubstituted 5 minutes later Return to play 7 days
Sub-elite level • ♂ >♀ • Hölmich 0.4/1000hrs • Mainlyadductor and psoas-related • Abdominalrelated, inguinalrelated and hip related • 60% overuse • 68% dominant leg • Combinationabdominal and adductor: longstanding
Anatomy • Robertson (2009) • ProximalattachmentAdductorlongus >60% muscular(Tuite, Straus) • Conjointtendon (lowerfibresTransversusabdominus and Internaloblique) (Hollinshead, Sandring) • 3% • 8% TA direct pubicattachment • 89% attachedintorectussheath • Adductorlongus and Rectusabdominis in continuity via capsular tissues pubicsymphysis(Schilder, Robinson)
Osteitis pubisPubicbone stress injury • Robinson 2014 • Prospective MRI • BoneMarrowEdema, cleft, parasymphyseal capsule/tendonoedema in asymptomaticplayers • The presence of abnormalimaging features didnotpredictfuturesymptoms • Paajanen 2010 • 40 athletes, 20 controles • 48% athletesgrade 1 BME • 20% athletesgrade 2 BME • 50% controles grade 1 BME
Risk factors • Previousinjury • Weakadductormuscles • Age • LimitedAbduction ROM exo/endo • Cuttingsports • Soccer • Football • Icehockey
Physical More accelerations / decelerations Higher load musculotendinous system More pivoting moments
Prevention / intervention • Exercise: Multi-interventionapproach • Hübscher 2013 • Eccentricstrengthening hip adductor training • Jensen, 2012 • Adductortenotomy • Robertson 2010 • 68% + result (amateur level) severe cases • Compression shorts • Chaudhari, 2014
Sportsman hernia • Same risk factors as for adductor related injuries • Conservative therapy 6 wks. • Surgery • Laparoscopic repair faster return than open repair
Groin injuries incidence 0.4 – 1.1 /1000 hr. • mainly adductor related, tendency for fast recovery, (8%>1 month), Adductor and abdominal : longstanding • There is a drirect anatomical relationship between abdominals, pubic bone and adductors • Weak adductors and previuos injury are proven riskfactors, Multi exercise intervention appraoch reduces the injury risk • The value of MRI in the diagnosis of longstanding groinpain is questionable. • Laporoscopic repair of a sportsman’s hernia ensures a faster recovery than open procedure
