Sportsman’s hernia is a type of pain that is subtle and acute at onset, more significant at the groin region adjacent to the public tubercle; however, it is not yet related to an obvious pathology explaining the symptoms as in inguinal hernia.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Treatment of the Sportsman’s groin: British Hernia Society’s 2014 position statement based on the Manchester Consensus Conference. Garvey ( 19), on the other hand, reported that the diagnosis of sportsman’s hernia should be based not on clinical evaluation, but on the assessment of a combination of patient history, physical examination and imaging studies. Currently, there is no consensus on the ideal imaging method for sportsmen with chronic inguinal pain. Sportsman’s hernia cannot be clearly distinguished from pathologies that present with chronic inguinal pain symptoms.

Caution should be taken about misinterpretation of acute edema as muscular avulsion (false positive finding) ( 26). Many sportsmen, amateur or professional, are affected by sportsman’s groin more often as compared to those who do not do sports ( 5). In some patients, the tissues will tear again during sports, and the surgical repair will need to be repeated. Van Veen ( 36) specified that the pathology could be identified in 80% of patients via the TEP technique, and that placement of a mesh to the posterior wall aiming to strengthen it based on the assumption that there is a subtle damage even in cases with no detectable pathologies yielded good clinical results in sportsmen with idiopathic inguinal pain.Diffuse inguinal pain extending to the perineum, inner surface of the femur and crossing the midline ( 1). Bone scintigraphy may be used in diagnosing stress fractures, which are difficult to analyze in direct X-rays.

The literature data that have so far been presented regarding the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of sportsman’s hernia is confusing.Rossidis ( 8) recommends that TEP and routine open adductor longus tenotomy should be performed simultaneously. The bulging or defect on the posterior inguinal wall is stretched out and soft tissue remains intact.
