RESUMEN

The HAGOS (Hip and Groin Outcome Score) questionnaire is a valid and reliable measure of the self-assessment of symptoms, activity limitation, participation restriction, and quality of life (Qol) of subjects with hip and/or groin pain. The aims of this study are to translate and transculturally adapt the HAGOS into Italian (HAGOS-I) and to assess its internal consistency, validity, and reliability in physically active, young, and middle-aged subjects. The translation and transcultural adaptation of (HAGOS-I) was carried out according to international guidelines. Eight-one subjects (mean age 28.19) were included in this study. All the participants completed the HAGOS-I, the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS-I), the Oxford Hip Score (OHS-I), and the Short Form 36 Health Surveys (SF-36-I). The Cronbach's α for the six HAGOS subscales ranged from 0.63 to 0.87. Statistically significant correlations were obtained between the six HAGOS-I subscales and the LEFS-I (rs = 0.44-0.68; p < 0.01). Only one HAGOS-I subscale (Participation in Physical Activities) did not reach statistical significance with the OHS-I, while the remaining five had a moderate correlation (rs = 0.40-0.60; p < 0.01). The test-retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient) ranged from 0.57 to 0.86 for the six HAGOS-I subscales. The HAGOS-I is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used in clinical settings with young and middle-aged subjects with hip and/or groin pathologies.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Hidden or occult inguinal hernias are symptomatic hernias that do not present with a bulge. For some surgeons, if a bulge is not present, then no hernia repair is contemplated. We report preoperative findings of patients with occult inguinal hernias and outcomes after repair to assist in early detection and treatment of this special population. METHODS: All patients who underwent inguinal hernia repairs, 2008-2019, were reviewed. Patients were classified as having occult inguinal hernias if they (a) complained of groin pain, (b) did not have bulging on exam, (c) had supportive imaging showing an inguinal hernia, and (d) were confirmed to have inguinal hernias that were repaired intraoperatively. Presentation and outcomes were compared with the non-occult group treated during the same time period. RESULTS: Of 485 patients who underwent elective inguinal hernia repairs over 10 years, 212 (44%) had occult inguinal hernias. Patients in the occult group were significantly more likely to be female, younger, and with higher BMI compared to the non-occult group. They also had more preoperative pain for a significantly longer time. This was associated with higher incidence of pain medications usage, including opioids, in the occult group. On physical examination, those with occult hernias were twice as likely to have tenderness over the inguinal canal. Most hernia repairs (66%) were laparoscopic and 94% used mesh. Postoperatively, the occult group had 83% resolution of symptoms after hernia repair. CONCLUSION: Some surgeons hesitate recommending hernia repair to patients with occult inguinal hernias, as these patients do not fit the traditional definition of a hernia, i.e., a bulge. Our study challenges this perception by showing that discounting groin pain due to occult hernia prolongs patient's suffering and may risk increased opioid use, especially in females, although 83% cure can be achieved with hernia repair.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Obturator hernia is a rare condition, often presenting with non-specific symptoms, such as thigh pain, groin pain, nausea, or vomiting. Obturator hernias are most common in thin, elderly women. Oftentimes, they are diagnosed late in the disease course resulting in complications and high morbidity and mortality. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 75-year-old female who presented with right thigh pain with no other symptoms. After computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen/pelvis, the patient was found to have an incarcerated obturator hernia complicated by a small bowel obstruction, ultimately requiring urgent surgical intervention. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Given the very general symptoms associated with the condition, the diagnosis of obturator hernia can easily be missed, leading to a delayed diagnosis, more complications, and a higher morbidity and mortality rate. Due to the risk associated with a delayed diagnosis, it is important for emergency physicians to maintain a high clinical suspicion for the diagnosis.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To describe and characterize the accuracy and benefit of a technique for performing ultrasound-guided needle placement for iliopsoas peritendon or bursa injections as an alternative method to fluoroscopic guidance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with a history of total hip arthroplasty who were referred by their orthopedic surgeon for iliopsoas peritendon or bursa corticosteroid injection for iliopsoas impingement syndrome between June 2017 and December 2019 were eligible for inclusion. Of these patients, 19 received a total of 26 ultrasound-guided needle placement followed by confirmatory fluoroscopic guidance prior to injection. Pre-injection and post-injection VAS scores were collected to monitor pain. Additionally, the patients were followed for 6 months via chart review after their injection to assess for complications, need for repeat injections, and progression to surgical intervention. The accuracy of a longitudinal in-plane distal to proximal approach to ultrasound guided needle placement was then evaluated. RESULTS: Ultrasound guided needle placement using a longitudinal in-plane distal to proximal approach demonstrated spread of contrast material in the intended anatomic location with fluoroscopic confirmation in patients who underwent iliopsoas peritendon or bursa injection post total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound guided needle placement using a longitudinal in-plane distal to proximal approach can be an effective alternative technique for diagnostic or therapeutic iliopsoas peritendon injection in patients with total hip arthroplasty.

RESUMEN

[Purpose] This study investigated whether pre-season HAGOS (Japanese Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Scores) and eccentric muscle strength of the hip muscles predict in-season groin pain incidences in high school soccer players. [Participants and Methods] This study had a cohort design. The participants were male high school players under 18 years playing in the Japan Soccer League, which is an elite-level soccer league of that age category in Japan. The HAGOS and the strength of hip abductor and adductor muscles in eccentric contraction were measured before the season, and hip and groin pain incidences were recorded during the season. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors derived from the pre-season HAGOS and hip muscle strength tests, presumably pertaining to the development of in-season groin pain. [Results] The eccentric adductor muscle strength of the dominant leg and the HAGOS were selected as factors associated with groin pain during the season. [Conclusion] Low pre-season HAGOS and weak dominant-leg eccentric adductor muscle strength were suggested as factors to predict in-season groin pain occurrence in male high school soccer players.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Adductor-related groin pain involves an injury to the common aponeurosis connecting the rectus abdominus and adductor longus to the pubis. It commonly occurs in sports that require cutting and pivoting and can result in significant loss of playing time. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is often indicated for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and may represent an alternative treatment for patients with adductor-related groin pain. The purpose of this case report is to describe the non-surgical management of adductor-related groin pain in a competitive soccer player with a with an ultrasound (US)-guided PRP injection and physical therapy management. Case Description: A 17-year-old male competitive soccer player with right-sided adductor-related groin pain was treated with an US-guided PRP and a multi-phased physical therapy regimen based on tissue healing and individual patient/criteria progression. The patient completed 12 physical therapy sessions over six weeks post PRP injection. Outcomes: At the end of treatment, clinically meaningful improvements were observed in pain intensity, passive range of motion, strength (handheld dynamometry, Biodex), functional tests, psychosocial (OSPRO-YF) and patient-reported outcomes (HAGOS, LEFS). The subject returned to sport at six weeks post injection without limitation and at three months follow up, the subject reported that he had returned to 95% of his previous level of play. Discussion: This case report may offer support for PRP as an alternative treatment in the management of adductor-related groin pain. Incorporation of PRP as an adjunct to physical therapy led to improvements on all outcomes that surpassed the clinical significance change criteria. Level of evidence: 5.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Core stability training (CST) is effective in improving postural balance, core endurance, and self-reported outcomes in different populations. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CST in soccer players with groin pain (GP). HYPOTHESIS: CST would improve postural balance performance, core endurance, and self-reported outcomes in soccer players with GP. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 2. METHODS: Soccer players with GP who met the selection criteria were assigned randomly to a CST (CSTG, n = 10) or a control (CG, n = 10) group. The CG undertook no additional physical activity program besides their usual training. The CSTG performed a 12-week CST comprising 76 ~75 min sessions. Static (force platform) and dynamic (Y-Balance test) postural balance, core endurance (McGill trunk endurance tests), and self-reported outcomes (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS]) were assessed before and immediately after the 12-week CST. RESULTS: Significant improvements were seen in dynamic postural balance (P = 0.04 to <0.01), HAGOS scores (P = 0.02 to <0.01), and core endurance measures (P < 0.01) in the CSTG in posttest compared with pretest session and compared with CG. Static bipedal postural balance measures showed significant improvements (eyes open, P = 0.02; eyes closed, P < 0.01) in the CSTG in posttest compared with pretest session. However, no significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed between CSTG and CG after the training period. CONCLUSION: A 12-week CST improved static (foam surface) and dynamic postural balance, core endurance measures, and HAGOS scores. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The beneficial effect of CST on improving postural balance, core endurance, and self-reported outcomes in soccer players with GP suggests that this training would be an important feature of rehabilitation programs for these players. Coaches and clinicians should prioritize CST training when designing rehabilitation programs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spreads worldwide and causes more suffering. The relation about the aggravation of inguinal pain and COVID-19 was unclear in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the risk of groin pain aggravation in short-term THA patients after COVID-19. METHODS: Between 2020 and 2022, 129 patients with THA who were affected COVID-19 were enrolled. A short-standardized questionnaire was administered during follow-up to inquire about the aggravation of groin ache before and after SARS-COV-2 affection. Furthermore, we evaluated the potential association between the presence of increased pain and various factors, including age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: The case-crossover study revealed an increased risk of inguinal soreness aggravation when comparing 8 weeks after COVID-19 with 12 weeks before COVID-19 (Relative risk [RR], 9.5; 95% Confidence intervals [CI], 2.259-39.954). For COVID-19 positive patients, multivariate analysis showed length of stay was an independent factor significantly associated with increased risk of aggravation of groin pain (Odds ratio [OR], 1.26; 95%CI, 1.03-1.55, p = 0.027). CONCLUSION: This study confirms the association between COVID-19 and the exacerbation of soreness in the groin region in THA patients and extended length of stay is a possible contributing factor. This study expands the current literature by investigating the risk of aggravation of inguinal pain in patients with THA after COVID-19, providing valuable insights into postoperative outcomes in this specific population. Trial registration This retrospective study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Shanghai general hospital (No.2023-264).

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the effectiveness of a long-acting anesthetic injection into the obturator membrane for pain relief in women undergoing trans-obturator tension-free vaginal tape. METHODS: A total of 22 women were randomized for the intra-operative injection of bupivacaine into one of their obturator membranes: the left or right side. All the participants were asked to define their groin pain on a visual analog scale (scored 0-10 cm) at 1, 6, 12, and 24 h post-operative. For each woman, pain scores were compared between the local anesthetic-injected side and the opposite side. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were not observed in groin pain scores between the bupivacaine injection side and the no injection side at 1 h (p = 0.76), 6 h (p = 1), 12 h (p = 0.95), and 24 h (p = 0.82) post-operative. CONCLUSION: In women who undergo trans-obturator tension-free vaginal tape procedures, intra-operative intra-obturator injection of local anesthetics is not effective in alleviating the characteristic post-operative groin pain. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03479996).

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Fixation of mesh during minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair is thought to contribute to chronic post-herniorrhaphy groin pain (CGP). In contrast to permanent tacks, absorbable tacks are hypothesized to minimize the likelihood of CGP. This study aimed to compare the rates of CGP after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between absorbable versus permanent fixation at maximum follow-up. METHODS: This is a post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (NCT03835351). All patients were contacted at maximum follow-up after surgery to administer EuraHS quality of life (QoL) surveys. The pain and restriction of activity subdomains of the survey were utilized. The primary outcome was rate of CGP, as defined by a EuraHS QoL pain domain score ≥ 4 measured at ≥ 1 year postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were pain and restriction of activity domain scores and hernia recurrence at maximum follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 338 patients were contacted at a mean follow-up of 28 ± 11 months. 181 patients received permanent tacks and 157 patients received absorbable tacks during their repair. At maximum follow-up, the rates of CGP (27 [15%] vs 28 [18%], P = 0.47), average pain scores (1.78 ± 4.38 vs 2.32 ± 5.40, P = 0.22), restriction of activity scores (1.39 ± 4.32 vs 2.48 ± 7.45, P = 0.18), and the number of patients who reported an inguinal bulge (18 [9.9%] vs 15 [9.5%], P = 0.9) were similar between patients with permanent versus absorbable tacks. On multivariable analysis, there was no significant difference in the odds of CGP between the two groups (OR 1.23, 95% CI [0.60, 2.50]). CONCLUSION: Mesh fixation with permanent tacks does not appear to increase the risk of CGP after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair when compared to fixation with absorbable tacks. Prospective trials are needed to further evaluate this relationship.

RESUMEN

The fascial system (FS) represents a sophisticated and intricate network within the human body, comprising both superficial and deep fascial layers. Disruptions or dysfunctions within this system have been implicated in a variety of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders and pain syndromes. Specifically, fascial tightness has been associated with diminished range of motion and localized pain. Glucopuncture, a novel therapeutic approach, involves the administration of 5% dextrose injections directly into the fascial layers, such as the superficial fascia, to address these issues. This article presents a case series involving three patients who underwent palpation/ landmark-guided glucopuncture for the treatment of superficial fascial dysfunction. The first case involves a 45-year-old male with a nine-month history of left groin pain, who experienced significant pain relief following glucopuncture below the inguinal ligament, with complete resolution of symptoms within four weeks. The second case describes a 36-year-old female suffering from left arm and neck pain for two years, who reported gradual pain alleviation over six weeks after receiving multiple injections in the fasciae of the neck, scapula, and lateral aspect of the triceps muscle. The final case involves a 67-year-old female with a six-month history of low back and buttock pain, who showed improvement after four weeks following multiple injections in the fasciae of the low back, lumbar region, and buttocks. These cases highlight the potential of palpation-guided glucopuncture as a simple, cost-effective method for modulating regional pain caused by superficial fascial dysfunction. However, further research is necessary to fully ascertain the efficacy and safety of glucopuncture for treating fascial dysfunction.

RESUMEN

Objective This study aimed to assess the performance of dynamic MRI in Chronic Groin Pain (CGP) related to the inguinal region, comparing it with surgery as the gold standard. Materials and methods A cohort of 25 consecutive patients exhibiting persistent clinical inguinal-related CGP underwent a pre-surgical pelvis MRI. Imaging encompassed strictly axial Fast Spin Echo (FSE) T1 sequences, both without (static sequence) and with Valsalva Maneuver (VM, dynamic sequence), alongside axial-oblique Proton Density weighted with Fat Saturation (PDFS). Evaluation of these sequences focused on identifying Abdominal Wall (AW) injuries. A consistent surgical approach was employed by the same surgeon across all patients (34 AW injuries in 25 patients). Specificity (Sp), Sensitivity (Se), Negative Predictive Value (NPV), Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and overall accuracy of MRI sequences and their combinations for detecting AW injuries were computed by comparing them to surgical findings. Results Ninety sequences were obtained, revealing that the axial PDFS oblique sequence emerged as the most singularly reliable (Accuracy: 58.82%). The optimal sequence combination was found to be axial T1 combined with axial T1 VM, exhibiting an accuracy of 75.00% (Se: 85.71%, Sp: 70.59%, PPV: 54.55%, NPV: 92.31%, with an average duration of 4 minutes and 31 seconds). Conclusion Based on our findings, we advocate for the adoption of the axial FSE T1 combined with Valsalva Maneuver as a dependable protocol for inguinal-related CGP, characterized by a highly reasonable examination duration.

RESUMEN

Groin pain syndrome (GPS) is one of the most frequent injuries in competitive sports. Stresses generated in the lower limbs by quick turns and accelerations, such as in soccer, basketball or hockey, can produce localized regions of increased forces, resulting in anatomical lesions. The differential diagnoses are numerous and comprise articular, extra-articular, muscular, tendinous and visceral clinical conditions and a correct diagnosis is crucial if treatment is to be efficient. MRI is the gold standard of diagnostic techniques, especially when an alternative pathology needs to be excluded and/or other imaging techniques such as ultrasound or radiography do not lead to a diagnosis. This paper, based on the current literature, gives a comprehensive review of the anatomy of the pubic region and of the typical MRI findings in those affected by GPS. Many clinical conditions causing GPS can be investigated by MRI within appropriate protocols. However, MRI shows limits in reliability in the investigation of inguinal and femoral hernias and therefore is not the imaging technique of choice for studying these clinical conditions.

RESUMEN

Introduction Groin injuries are common among rink hockey players. Monitoring the main risk factors can reduce the likelihood of suffering such injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a competitive congestion period on the squeeze strength of the hip adductor muscles in a group of adolescent rink hockey players, and whether the strength reduction exceeded the injury risk threshold (>15%) for sustaining a groin injury. Materials and Methods Twenty U-16 athletes (9 females) participated in the study. Eighty-three adductor strength measurements were recorded after 10 games (2109 min of play). Function was assessed using the Sport subscale of the Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) questionnaire. A simple linear regression model was used to analyze the accumulated time-strength relationship, and the pre-tournament and post-tournament HAGOS results were compared. Results The accumulation of games resulted in a significant strength reduction in male players' (R2= 0.27), but not in females. Eighty-five percent of the sample had their strength reduced to values at risk compared to baseline strength, but none of them stopped their activity due to discomfort in the groin region. HAGOS results were not affected by the competitive congestion (p = 0.07–0.48). Conclusion Match congestion can negatively impact adductor strength. However, there may not be a relationship between strength loss above 15% and the appearance of a groin injury. (AU)

RESUMEN

This case series highlights the importance of a thorough differential diagnosis in patients with groin swelling, often mistaken for inguinal hernias. It presents three patients with groin swelling initially suspected of having inguinal hernias but diagnosed differently upon further investigation. Patient 1 had a recurrence of endometrial adenocarcinoma in the right groin, Patient 2 had penile carcinoma with left inguinal metastasis, and Patient 3 had a metastasis of prostate carcinoma in the left groin. These cases underline the need to consider various pathologies beyond the common diagnosis of inguinal hernia. Accurate diagnosis requires a careful clinical examination and appropriate diagnostic tools, ensuring correct treatment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Chronic groin pain following inguinal hernia repair can be troublesome. The current literature is limited, especially from Asia and Africa. We aimed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes using the Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS) following inguinal hernia repair at an international level, especially to include patients from Asia and Africa. METHODS: An international cohort of surgeons was invited to collaborate and collect data of consecutive adult patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair. The data were collected to allow at least 2 years of follow-up. A total score for CCS was calculated and compared for the following groups-patient age <30 years versus (vs.) > 30 years; open versus laparoscopic repair, emergency versus elective surgery, and unilateral versus bilateral hernia repair. The CCS scores between Asia, Africa, and Europe were also compared. RESULTS: The mean total CCS score of patients operated in Asia (n = 891), Europe (n = 853), and Africa (n = 157) were 7.32, 14.6, and 19.79, respectively. The total CCS score was significantly higher following open repair, emergency repair, and unilateral repair, with surgical site infections (SSI) and recurrence. In the subgroup analysis, the patients who underwent elective open repair in Europe had higher CCS scores than those in Asia. CONCLUSION: About 15% of patients had a CCS score of more than 25 after a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The factors that influence CCS scores are indication, approach, complications, and geographic location.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Stimulation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is an ideal neuromodulative intervention, providing pain relief in localized chronic pain conditions because γ-band oscillations reflect the intensity of ongoing chronic pain in patients affected. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to observe the role of cortical γ-band power associated with the relief of chronic neuropathic pain through DRG stimulation (DRGS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined nine patients (two women, mean age 56.8 years; range, 36-77 years) diagnosed with chronic neuropathic pain who underwent DRGS therapy. We used the numeric rating scale (NRS) on the painful limb and simultaneously recorded the electroencephalography to assess the broadband γ power. Assessments were conducted on the first day and on the seventh day after implantation of the DRGS system and then compared and correlated with the results of the NRS. RESULTS: The NRS scores showed a significant decrease from the first day to the seventh day (p = 0.007). The resting-state γ power revealed a significant decrease (p = 0.021) between 30 and 45 Hz, recorded through the central electrode contralateral to the painful limb from the first day (mean [M] = 0.46, SD = 0.25) to the seventh day (M = 0.31, SD = 0.12) after DRGS. There was no significant change in the resting-state γ-band power recorded through the central electrode ipsilateral to the painful limb. However, we found a positive correlation in the γ-band power (rs = 0.628, p = 0.005) with the NRS rating. CONCLUSIONS: A lateralized decrease in broadband γ power may be considered further evidence supporting a reduction in the hyperexcitability of the nociceptive system in response to DRGS therapy. In the future, γ-band power could serve as a biomarker for assessing the efficacy of DRGS during the seven-day test phase preceding the implantation of the DRGS system.

RESUMEN

Trans-abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repairs are the available surgeries for inguinal hernias, with both methods of laparoscopic repairs requiring mesh applications. This study analyzes the correlation between sutured versus stapler mesh fixation in a laparoscopic TAPP for unilateral groin hernia regarding chronic pain during 3-year follow-up. A total of 130 patients with laparoscopic hernia undergoing TAPP repair were randomized into 2 groups based on their fixation technique-one with sutures and the other with stapler. Postoperative complications and chronic groin pain were noted for each technique. Equal number of participants was present in the stapler and suture groups, with the majority having an ASA score of one. The mean age was 42.50 ± 13.86 years, and the body mass index (BMI) was 27.47 ± 5.88. The stapler group presented a shorter mean operative time than the suture group. However, the stapler group had a significantly higher mean VAS score than the suture group. Most participants in the suture group (89.2%) had LOS for 1 day, while a 2-day LOS was significantly higher in the stapler group (12.3%) than in the suture group (9.2%). No patient reported mesh erosion, conversion, recurrence, testicular atrophy, and mesh infection. Early postoperative pain was more in stapler group along with long hospital stay, but both were non-significant. Chronic postoperative pain results and recurrence incidences over 3-year follow-up were also similar. Re-admission rates were minimal, no significant complications occurred.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To record the time-loss injuries of female rink hockey players and describe the affected region, tissue, and onset of injury. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey study. SETTING: First (Ok Liga) and Second (Plata) division clubs. PARTICIPANTS: 280 player-seasons. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of overall, training, and match injuries (number of injuries per 1000 h) from two seasons. RESULTS: A total of 229 injuries occurred in 56,438 h of exposure. The overall incidence was 4 injuries per 1000 h (4/1000 h), with a significantly higher rate of injuries during matches (15.2/1000 h) compared to training sessions (2.6/1000 h) (p < 0.001). Injuries affecting the lower limb were the most common (2.3/1000 h), followed by upper limb (1.2/1000 h), and head/trunk (0.6/1000 h). The tissue with the highest incidence of injury was the muscle/tendon (1.3/1000 h), followed by the ligament (0.8/1000 h). Around one in every three injuries (31%) affected either the thigh or hip/groin (73 injuries). CONCLUSIONS: The injury incidence in elite female rink hockey is moderate and occurs mainly during match sessions. Preventative measurements should be implemented in rink hockey with a special concern for injuries affecting the thigh, and hip/groin.
