Therapeutic Dilemmas of Inguinal Disruption in Athletes

Zusatztext

Surgical pathology in athletes is an important chapter of modern surgery, and, in many cases, it also has a high degree of difficulty in terms of a positive diagnosis. Whether chronic or acute, the diagnosis for inguinal pain should be made as early as possible to reduce as much as possible the period during which the athlete is absent from training and competitions, thus speeding up the athletes comeback. Moreover, the treatment algorithm in these cases must be chosen correctly, the differential diagnosis thus gaining special importance. One should keep in mind that if wrongly diagnosed and treated, this pathology can lead to premature termination of the athletes career. On the other hand, the late return of the athlete to the characteristic activity of the chosen sport can have an important economic impact on the club or organization where the athlete is active.
