Video Summary

In this video, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Per Hulmik discusses groin pain in athletes, specifically focusing on adductor injuries. Dr. Hulmik highlights the problem of unspecific terminology associated with groin pain, and explains the need to understand the anatomy of the groin region. He emphasizes the importance of diagnosing specific anatomical structures, such as the iliopsoas, adductors, inguinal ligament, and hip joint, in order to provide appropriate treatment. Dr. Hulmik introduces the Doha Agreement on Groin Injury Terminology, which is widely used in scientific papers and clinical settings. He describes the characteristics of patients with groin pain, including pain during specific activities and certain movements. He demonstrates various clinical tests used to diagnose adductor-related groin pain and explains the treatment options for long-standing adductor-related pain, primarily exercise therapy. Dr. Hulmik also discusses acute adductor injuries, inguinal-related groin pain, and iliopsoas-related groin pain, providing information on exercise treatment and surgical options, if necessary. The video concludes with the recommendation to use the Doha Agreement terminology and the importance of understanding and treating specific anatomical structures in athletes with groin pain.
