Groin tendon injuries

Abstract

Injuries to the groin, hip, and pelvic area are common in sport, occurring at the rate of 0.69 per 1000 hours of activity. Groin injuries in football have been estimated to be 5% [1], 5% [2], and 6.2% [3], with the injury rate to the adductor tendons estimated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at 0.25 per 1000 hours.
