A 58-yr-old woman presented after experiencing left hip and groin pain for 1 mo. She denies any history of trauma, falls or any bruising, or history of sports injury or extreme physical exertion before her symptoms. On ultrasonography, she was found to have an avulsion tear at the origin of the adductor muscles, predominantly involving the adductor longus and brevis muscles. The treatment course was conservative: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain control and physical therapy for muscle strengthening and balance improvement. Upon follow-up, she demonstrated significant improvement and resolution of her pain.

Beyond the hernia in groin ultrasound.
Ultrasound
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Leeds, UK.
Introduction: Groin discomfort is one of the most common presenting complaints in health care and often requires ultrasound to detect hernias. However, such singular emphasis leads to over diagnosing hernia and other significant aetiologies in and around the groin are overlooked.
Topic Description: The article elaborates on the key areas a sonographer needs to focus on and presents a range of conditions responsible for groin pain other than hernia.

In the post-anesthesia care unit, there is a high occurrence of residual neuromuscular blockade, which puts patients at risk of negative consequences such as hypoxia. Assessment based on the train-of-four ratio (TOFR) has been used to avoid residual neuromuscular blockade when the TOFR is greater than 0.9, measured at the adductor pollicis muscle (APM).

Introduction: Hip abductors eccentrically maintain leg alignment during weight-bearing exercises. Hip abductors' weakness may be a significant aspect to take into account in the conservative management of Patellofemoral Pain (PFP). The aim of the study was to compare hip abductors' eccentric strength and hip kinematics during two functional tests, in female subjects with PFP.

Background: This study investigates a novel isometric method utilizing an external focus instruction technique with a soft paper balloon. By emphasizing control to avoid crushing the balloon, this method promotes co-contraction of muscles without exerting pressure on the object. We aim to evaluate differences in muscle activation patterns during isometric hip abduction exercises between the paper balloon task and tasks using external resistance (hard plastic, non-elastic, and elastic bands), and further determine their influence on the contralateral side.
