Resisted adduction sit-up test (RASUT) as a screening tool for pelvic versus hip pathology.

Groin pain is a common symptom in hip and pelvic pathology and differentiating between the two remains a challenge. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a test combining resisted adduction with a sit-up (RASUT) differentiates between pelvic and hip pathology. The RASUT was performed on 160 patients with complaints of hip or groin pain who subsequently had their diagnosis confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or surgery.

Radiographic and surgical findings of type I obturator hernias in patients with refractory groin pain.

Groin pain is a common complaint in the general population, with an underlying etiology that may be difficult to diagnose. Although uncommon, type I obturator hernias may be a significant source of chronic or refractory groin pain. In this review, we discuss the commonly missed findings of type I obturator hernias at CT and MRI, as well as correlate these findings with images obtained at the time of laparoscopic repair.

Sports Hernia/Athletic Pubalgia Among Women.

Background: "Athletic pubalgia," a term that has gained acceptance over "sports hernia," is more common in men than women; however, it represents a significant source of morbidity for patients of both sexes. Inconsistent terminology surrounding this entity poses a diagnostic challenge and makes studying the populations at risk difficult.

Purpose: To review a case series of women with athletic pubalgia by analyzing their presentations, concomitant pathologies, and surgical outcomes.

Referral Patterns for Chronic Groin Pain and Athletic Pubalgia/Sports Hernia: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings, Treatment, and Outcomes.

Chronic groin pain is a common problem and has been well-described in high-performance athletes. Its presentation in the recreational athlete has been less frequently described. We present the experience of a tertiary group of physicians specializing in groin pain and athletic pubalgia.

Athletic pubalgia and associated rehabilitation.

Background: Evaluation and treatment of groin pain in athletes is challenging. The anatomy is complex, and multiple pathologies often coexist. Different pathologies may cause similar symptoms, and many systems can refer pain to the groin.
