Exercise-induced bilateral apophyseolysis of lesser trochanter with enthesopathy of iliopsoas muscle is a less frequent cause of the groin pain syndrome in children and adolescents. In a 13-year-old boy, an active ice hockey player, spontaneous consolidation of exercise-induced bilateral apophyseolysis of lesser trochanter and regression of enthesopathy of iliopsoas muscle is documented by a long-term follow-up through MRI. The conservative treatment comprises targeted rehabilitation focusing on the hypertonic muscles, but of equal importance is also comprehensive rehabilitation focusing on correction of the posture and coordination of the muscle groups. It is also necessary to include compensatory exercise in the training plan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
