Sports Hernia


Sports Hernia is a gross misnomer.  At times it has been referred by different names including Athletic Pubalgia.

The diagnosis of sports hernia is much too broad with multiple variations of injuries falling under the term sports hernia.

There are no published techniques that seem to be more prevalent or superior in outcome.
