Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
A groin strain is an injury to the muscle tendon unit that produces pain on palpation of the adductor tendons or its insertion on the pubic bone with or without pain during resisted adduction.(1)
Groin muscle strains are encountered more frequently in ice hockey and soccer than other sports.
These sports require a strong eccentric contraction of the adductor musculature during competition and practice. (2)
The underlying injury is most often a muscle or tendon strain at the insertion of the tendon of the adductor muscle to the bone. (3)
The difference between groin tendinopathy and strain are:
- First of all strains are acute and tendinosis are chronic. A tendinosis is a repetitive strain.
- The second difference is that acute injuries are more often localized in the myotendon junctions and chronic injuries are localized at the tendinous insertions on the pubic bone. Fig. 2 (3)
