“…Several studies report a significant improvement after 6–8 weeks of physical therapy ( Kachingwe and Grech, 2008 ; Woodward et al., 2012 ), which may allow the athlete to return to play. Indeed, most of these therapies involve a period of absence from professional activity, during which the physical therapy was performed ( Cohen et al., 2016 ; Elattar et al., 2016 ; Ellsworth et al., 2014 ; Paksoy and Sekmen, 2016 ). In the present study, where conservative therapy was complemented by the use of CFAs, interruption of the professional activity was not needed, unless a traumatic injury occurred, and thus, the AP symptoms were treated during the season activity.…”

Background Athletic pubalgia (AP), a frequent problem among professional roller hockey players (PRHPs), consists of lower abdominal and groin pain, without the presence of true hernia. Aims We assessed cetylated fatty acids (CFAs) in association with conservative therapy for treatment of AP in PRHPs. Methods Ultrasound examination was performed before and after treatment. Strength tests were performed and AP-related pain was measured during the treatment period. Findings Nine of 10 enrolled PRHPs completed a 12-week treatment with CFAs in association with conservative therapy, consisting of manual therapy, diathermy or ultrasonography. Initial ultrasound examination showed AP signs in 7 (70%) of 10 PRHPs. After 12 weeks of therapy, these signs could only be detected by ultrasound in 2 (22.2%) of 9 PRHPs. An increase in muscle strength (already after first week of treatment) and a reduction of AP-related pain were also observed during the treatment. Conclusion The association of CFA treatment with a conservative rehabilitation therapy improves muscle strength and pain and may accelerate recovery from AP.

Inguinal canal-related groin pain is common in athletes and may involve numerous structures such as the conjoint tendon and the transversalis fascia. Ultrasound is the only dynamic tool that shows the passage of preperitoneal fat at the level of the Hesselbach triangle and allows excluding true inguinal hernias. Fascia transversalis bulging and inguinal ring dilatation may also be described. MRI assesses injuries of rectus abdominis and adductor longus enthesis and osteitis symphysis but its accuracy for the diagnosis of inguinal-related groin pain remains debated.

“…The literature describes the conjoint area as being best visualized using a plain x-ray with the patient in the flamingo position or with ultrasound. Additionally, CT and MRI may be used, though they are considered inferior to ultrasound [ 30 - 32 ].…”

“…If conservative treatment does not alleviate symptoms of groin pain, surgery is recommended. Similar to the repair of an inguinal hernia, a mesh is sutured to the area to provide additional support [ 30 ].…”

Henle’s ligament was first described by German physician and anatomist, Friedrich Henle, in 1871. This review article will cover Henle’s original description of the ligament, historical changes in terminology, embryological studies of the ligament, and the clinical significance of Henle’s ligament. This article has a particular focus on the variation in the terminology of this structure and the implications of this.
