Forced hip adduction is painful and the adductor “squeeze test” in supine and/or 90 degree hip flexion position is positive. In 20% of the patients, this nerve was resected and histological examination found perineural fibrosis in 100% ( 47). A better understanding of the pathophysiology of sportsman’s hernia would improve clinical course and further shorten the remission period. Richard Doddridge Blackmore was a well-known English novelist of the second half of the nineteenth century. As for a sportsman who is active in the season, a resting period of 4 weeks, injections of selective steroid or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) into the rectus abdominus adhesion site or the origin of adductor longus as well as non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug administrations may be preferred.

Rossidis ( 8) recommends that TEP and routine open adductor longus tenotomy should be performed simultaneously. It includes the concomitance of several pathologies; all of these develop through the same essential mechanism due to the underlying disturbance of pelvic stabilization.Surgical treatment should aim at overcoming the abnormal pressure on the inguinal canal and weakness on the posterior wall via repair with or without a mesh.
