Inflammation (\u2018enthesopathy\u2019) at the pubic insertion of the inguinal ligament was the cause in 30 patients (32 groins). This has not previously been recognized as a cause of chronic groin pain, possibly because the exact site of tenderness can be obscured by the pubic pad of fat. Enthesopathy also occurred in five rectus and one adductor longus tendons (one patient had inflammation in both). Infiltration with long-acting steroid (1 per cent triamcinolone) and local anaesthetic (2 per cent lignocaine) was offered to all patients with localized tenderness of tendon or ligament. A questionnaire survey 3\u201315 months after injection showed a better outcome after treatment than when injection was declined. Other causes of pain included nerve entrapment (five cases), spinal referred pain (five in four patients) and ureteric stones (two). Inguinal hernia is sometimes coincidental rather than causative of the pain. In three patients the pain had subsided and no diagnosis was made. Simple diagnostic and therapeutic measures may relieve chronic groin pain and spare patients elaborate investigation or unnecessary operation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800811123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,3]],"date-time":"2007-03-03T19:50:21Z","timestamp":1172951421000},"page":"1632-1634","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Chronic obscure groin pain is commonly caused by enthesopathy: \u2018Tennis elbow\u2019 of the groin"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"E C","family":"Ashby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Richard's Hospital , Chichester, Sussex PO19 4SE,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092813190609600_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-198806010-00006","article-title":"Longstanding groin pain in athletes.
