Abstract
Osteitis pubis (OP), which occurs as a result of excessive use of the symphysis pubis and parasymphysis bones, is more common in long-distance runners and kicking athletes, especially football players. Due to the poor results of commonly used treatments for OP, there is a need for investigation of more effective treatments, such as ozone therapy. Ozone therapy is used to treat a variety of diseases, including musculoskeletal conditions. A 30-year-old amateur soccer player diagnosed with OP received conservative treatment with traditional physiotherapy and analgesic medications. After 6months and no resolution of symptoms, the patient presented to the sports medicine outpatient clinic seeking alternative therapy options. The patient received ozone injections in 3 sessions administered at 10-day intervals. At 1, 3, 6 and 12months after the treatment, the patient's complaints and pain levels were re-evaluated and examined. The patient was able to return to competition at the same level after the first injection. No recurrence was revealed at a minimum of 12months of follow-up. In this article, we present a case in which OP was successfully treated with ozone injection.
