Abstract

Sports-related groin injuries are prevalent in multidirectional sports and typically present with inguinal pain and localized tenderness. These injuries can be disabling, leading to missed practice and warranting prolonged absences from sports events, potentially compromising a professional athlete's career. These injuries are difficult to diagnose due to the complex anatomy and pathophysiology. Imaging, particularly high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, is excellent for evaluating cause, location, and severity of groin injuries. Understanding the anatomy of the groin and recognizing specific patterns of imaging findings is crucial for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment planning.
