NCT02560480

Brief Summary

The prevalence of acute and chronic groin injuries in athletes is between 5 and 10 %. This observational case-control study follows three contact sport teams (soccer, ice-hockey and bandy) for two years to find out the prevalence and reasons for groin pain. Clinical examination, pain scores and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are performed. Hip and groin questionnaire (HAGOS) is used to determine severity of groin injuries.
