Abstract

Sports hernia is an important problem in professional and amateur sports. The article systematizes the literature and approaches to solving the groin pain during exercises, which is the main manifestation of sports hernia in football players. The presented research results show that a characteristic feature of a sports hernia is the presence of weakness of the posterior wall of the ingui- nal canal without anatomical signs of a typical hernia. For verification, the diagnosis is ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of the groin. The study conducted a comparative analysis of the results of surgical treatment of sports hernia. This research can be useful for general surgeons, sports physi- cians, family physicians, orthopedists and traumatologists.
