“…The symptoms of sports hernia are consistent and patients will usually present with a combination of vague unilateral or bilateral groin pain. Pain occurs on exertion, in particular sprinting, cutting or twisting, sidestepping, kicking, or sitting up [ 2 ].…”

“…Early detection and initiation of the correct treatment is essential to manage sports hernias [ 2 ]. In our case, the initial surgeon was not familiar with sports hernias and the radiologist did not perform a dynamic ultrasonographic examination.…”

“…Groin sports-related injury rates range from 0.5% to 6.2% [ 1 ]. Typically occurring in young athletic males, sports hernias usually present with insidious onset of exercise-related groin pain [ 2 ]. Patients usually report pain in the groin (dull, diffuse, sharp, and burning), often with radiation down the inner thigh, the scrotum and the pubic bone [ 3 ].…”

“…Using dynamic investigation, we also found the patient's posterior inguinal wall deficiency, which was not detected by both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Early detection and initiation of the correct treatment is essential in sports hernia management [ 2 ].…”

Groin pain in athletes is a complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Sports hernia is one of the common causes of groin pain. We report a case of sports hernia, initially presented as groin pain and aggravated by sports activity. A 19-year-old soccer player visited the outpatient department of general surgery and was referred to the rehabilitation center due to no abnormalities detected in the abdomen and pelvis by computed tomography. An incipient direct bulge of the posterior inguinal wall was detected with dynamic ultrasound when abdominal tension was induced by raising both legs during a full inhalation. Surgery was performed and preoperatively both groins showed the presence of inguinal hernia. Diagnosing sports hernia is very challenging. Through careful history documentation and physical examination followed by dynamic ultrasonography, we identified his posterior inguinal wall deficiency for early management.

“…Sports hernia is also termed as external oblique tear-occult hernia, nonspecific attenuation of the inguinal floor with cord lipoma, internal ring weakness, occult hernia, not true hernia-injury at the rectus insertion, muscular injury due to overexertion of the inguinal region, medial inguinal floor injury, deficiency of the posterior inguinal wall [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This condition has been poorly understood by the clinicians [12][13][14][15].…”
