After 6 weeks several calcifications were present in immediate relation to the insertion of the adductor longus tendon. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]
Paresthesias were rarely present. Diagnosis can be made by electromyogram (if symptoms are present longer than three months) where a denervation pattern of the adductor longus and brevis is seen. [aafp.org]
Entire Body System
- Pain
Pain in the front and/or back of the thigh Pain sometimes radiates toward the hip joint Pain can radiate down to the knee Stiffness in the hip and knee Deep aching and sharp pain in the pelvis Intercourse is painful for women Pain during bowel movements [thewellnessdigest.com]
If surgery is not indicated, pain-free isometric exercises and slow, pain-free AROM exercises can be started between days 3 and 5. The athlete should continue to use crutches until normal pain-free ambulation is possible. [emedicine.medscape.com]
What you might be feeling You will have pain or tenderness either along the inner side of your thigh or in the groin area. You will have pain when you bring your legs together, and you may also have pain when lifting your knee. [sportscarephysio.com.au]
The findings reviled and hence it was confirmed that it is not a visceral pain (pain was localized), nerve irritation (no burning or radiation of pain), hernia (pain was not positive with cough impulse), osteitis pubis, and pubic stress symphysis (normal [sjosm.org]
General muscle pain is normally pain from the disruption of the small muscle fibres either through mild injury like repetitive movements, tightness or inflammation. [clinic-hq.co.uk]
- Swelling
Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens. A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. [icdlist.com]
It is important to spend time laying down with your leg slightly elevated above your heart to reduce swelling and aid circulation. Once the swelling, heat, and bruising begin to subside it is time to alternate cold and warm treatments. [thewellnessdigest.com]
If the swelling hasn't come down after three days, see a doctor. 3 Use a Compression Wrap to Minimize Swelling Maria Fuchs / Getty Images Applying an elastic compression wrap can help reduce pain and keep the swelling down. [verywell.com]
Compression, try and keep the elastic bandage on during the day to limit the swelling and make sure to take it off at night. Elevation, keep your foot raised on cushions or a stool to help limit the swelling. [clinic-hq.co.uk]
This is especially helpful if swelling is present. Elevation: elevate the area to help reduce swelling. Crutches for ambulation or moving around may be necessary in the case of ruptures or significant injuries of the rectus, hamstrings or adductors. [twinboro.com]
- Weakness
Strength: resisted testing is performed to determine if there is associated weakness or strength imbalances Flexibility: tight muscles can contribute to poor mechanics and weakness creating imbalances and making the hip more susceptible to tendinitis. [twinboro.com]
Patients with this condition may also experience swelling, muscle spasm, weakness, tightness, tenderness and bruising in the inner aspect of the thigh and groin. [physioadvisor.com.au]
Action: Adducts the thigh and is also a very weak flexor. Adductor Longus Origin: The adductor longus is the most anterior of the adductor muscles. It originates from the pubic bone. [stretching-exercises-guide.com]
Symptoms may include back pain, numbness or burning pain in buttocks or legs, weakness in the legs, or a sudden relief of pain while leaning forward or sitting. [northcypresssportsmedicine.com]
This is often complicated by weakness of the stabilizing structures of the femoral head in the acetabulum. [aidmymuscle.com]
- Fatigue
However, if the muscles become short of fuel, fatigue can set in during training or matches. This fatigue can predispose a player to injury. [physioroom.com]
Muscle fatigue. Fatigue reduces the energy-absorbing capabilities of muscle, making them more susceptible to injury. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
A fatigued muscle/tendon complex is more vulnerable to injury. The patient should aim to progress gradually to 30-40 repetitions. Proprioceptive exercises are recommended, along with stretching, as well as an aquatic training program if accessible. [emedicine.medscape.com]
In muscles with poor flexibility and mobility, because the muscle cannot elongate very far without straining especially as you fatigue. [stevenlow.org]
Stress fractures result from a combination of overuse in the setting of muscle fatigue, and in some cases, predisposed anatomical issues. [running.competitor.com]
- Disability
Untreated cases of gluteus medius tear may result in gait disturbance and disability. [scottfaucettmd.com]
Doctors tend to grade these injuries as follows: Grade I: a mild injury with minimal to no disability Grade II: a moderate injury interfering with big movement such as running or jumping Grade III: a severe injury interfering with walking and accompanied [verywell.com]
They can even lead to permanent disability. How Can I Prevent Groin Pulls? Given that groin pulls can be painful and debilitating, the best advice is to prevent them. You should: Always warm up your legs and groin muscles before physical activity. [webmd.com]
Both scenarios that could possibly explain the minor difference in long term self-reported disability between the two injuries [ 22, 23 ]. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Overeating
History and physical exam are usually sufficient to establish the diagnosis Physical findings include tenderness to palpation (touch), bruising over the inner thigh and sometimes, swelling and warmth over the site of injury. [wosm.com]
The player will notice symptoms that include local tenderness over the adductor muscle and over the pubic bone, with pain on stretching and any resisted hip movement. [rjphysio.co.nz]
The inflammation can be very painful with symptoms predominantly over the outer aspect of the hip radiating down into the thigh. [running.competitor.com]

Description: Groin strain is a common over use sports injury and occurs when the adductor muscles of the hip, become torn or ruptured, as a result of being overstretched. The adductor muscles are situated on the inside of the groin. [vivomed.com]
- Abdominal Pain
Maneuvers that cause increases in intra-abdominal pressure will usually increase pain. [aafp.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Muscle Strain
What is an Adductor Muscle (Groin) Strain? An adductor muscle strain is an acute injury to the groin muscles on the medial aspect (inside) of the thigh. [wosm.com]
Groin strains are among the most common type of muscle strain, but they can be particularly annoying due to their location. [menshealth.com]
A similar injury occurs if there is a direct blow to the muscle. Muscle strains in the thigh can be quite painful. Once a muscle strain occurs, the muscle is vulnerable to reinjury. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
What’s really going on inside A groin injury is a layman’s term for a muscle strain of the adductor muscles. A strain is a stretch or tear of a muscle or tendon. The muscles in your groin help bring your legs together. [sportscarephysio.com.au]

- Fracture
Stress Fracture Although much more common in the foot and lower leg, stress fractures of the hip may also occur. [running.competitor.com]
Common leg injuries include sprains and strains, joint dislocations, and fractures. These injuries can affect the entire leg, or just the foot, ankle, knee, or hip. Certain diseases also lead to leg problems. [icdlist.com]
The type of surgery used to treat the fracture usually depends on which type of fracture a patient is experiencing. [northcypresssportsmedicine.com]
An ankle fracture occurs when one or more than one bone that makes up the ankle joint—and possibly its ligaments—breaks at or near the joint. Every year, 184 people out of every 100,000 sustain ankle fractures. [northwell.edu]
Rarely, surgical management of recalcitrant cases is warranted. 26 Stress Fractures The two commonly encountered stress fractures centered in the groin region are femoral neck stress fractures and pubic ramus fractures. [aafp.org]
- Contusion
The most common groin injuries are; 1) strains of the muscles, and 2) soft tissue contusions and haematoma’s that result from direct force. Acute groin injuries are often the result of direct trauma when playing football. [rjphysio.co.nz]
Hip Pointer A hip pointer is a contusion to the iliac crest of the pelvis, the soft-tissue structures surrounding the femur, or the greater trochanter of the femur. The term ‘hip pointer' refers to the deep bruising of the muscle and bone. [northcypresssportsmedicine.com]
[…] muscle, tendon, or both (contractile components). [1] [2] The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain. [3] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Typical signs and symptoms of a strain include pain, functional loss of the involved structure, muscle weakness, contusion [en.wikipedia.org]
And subsequently result in muscle contusions, avulsions, tears and strains. Characteristics/Clinical Presentation The main sign of the adductor muscle injury is intense pain in the groin area. [physio-pedia.com]
- Tendon Disorder
A comprehensive review of tendon disorders is given and modern criteria of management outlined to form the basis of effective clinical management of this group of patients. [books.google.com]
Treatment
Once the swelling, heat, and bruising begin to subside it is time to alternate cold and warm treatments. Start with cold treatment for 20 minutes then 1-2 hours later apply a warm treatment. Alternate treatments throughout the day. [thewellnessdigest.com]
Recommended Thermoskin Product Under the direction of your medical professional and in conjuction with your advised treatment plan, any of the following Thermoskin products are recommended. [thermoskin.com]
Most adductor muscle strains respond to conservative treatment. Initial treatment includes activity modification, which may temporarily include crutches. Ice and anti-inflammatory medication are appropriate for acute muscle strains. [wosm.com]
Your physician and/or physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine what tendon(s) is involved, the severity of the condition, and the best course of treatment. [twinboro.com]
Treatment: It is important to seek treatment early to avoid developing a chronic groin strain. Rest: to prevent further damage, and avoid any exercises that put a strain on the adductor muscles until the muscles have completely recovered. [vivomed.com]
Prognosis
Reactive Tendinopathy Normal tissue adaptation phase Prognosis: Excellent. Normal Recovery! 2. Tendon Dysrepair Injury rate > Repair rate Prognosis: Good. Tissue is attempting to heal. [physioworks.com.au]
As defined by The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, interventions are the skilled and purposeful use of physical therapy methods and techniques to produce changes consistent with the diagnosis, prognosis and the patient or client’s goals. [twinboro.com]
In case of major surgery you should follow the instructions by surgeon/doctor for better prognosis which can take 2-3 months after surgery, depending on the nature of injury. [diseasespictures.com]
Long-Term Prognosis Long-term problems are seldom seen with tendinitis of the adductor muscles after treatment. If pain and limited mobility in the hip persists, additional investigations may be required from a sports medicine specialist. [nielasher.com]
Prognosis of a groin strain With appropriate management, patients with minor groin strains can usually recover in one to three weeks. With larger tears, recovery may take four to six weeks or longer, depending on the severity. [physioadvisor.com.au]
