Abstract

Summary Groin injuries have a bad reputation as very difficult to diagnose and treat. However, this is not justified and in last two decades an increasing number of good scientific papers have been published. The key to groin injuries is anatomy. Groin injuries are related to muscles, tendons and joints in vast majority of cases. It is important to understand that muscles are acting through their insertions into bones and not through their superficial connective tissue covering. To communicate about these injuries a common terminology based on clear definitions are imperative. Standardized examination techniques and imaging as well as patient related outcomes are all important tools. The treatment and safe return to sport is dependent on evidence based easy-to-access treatment methods. Several research groups around world are working seriously to develop this further and clinical future looks bright. Groin injuries are no longer the Bermuda Triangle of sports medicine.
