Brief Summary

The bent knee fall out test (BKFO) is a common test for hip adductor flexibility. It is unknown whether the BKFO actually tests the the adductors or potentially hip range of motion instead. In this study, the BKFO test is performed in the operating theater before and after an adductor longus tenotomy.

Conditions

Adductor Tendinitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the Bent Knee Fall Out Test

  The patient lies supine on the surgical table with app. 90° knee flexion, 45° hip flexion, and the feet together and the hips in external rotation (also known as the frog-leg position. Standardization of position is achieved by flexing one leg first, so the medial malleolus is placed next to the medial knee joint line of the contra-lateral leg. The knee is then moved laterally, externally rotating the hip with the plantar surface placed towards the contra-lateral leg. The contra-lateral leg is then flexed, and the plantar surfaces of the feet are aligned. The distance between the most distal point on the head of the fibula and the surface of the surgical table is measured using a rigid tape measure and distance is recorded in cm to the nearest 0.5 cm

  Baseline pre-surgery and immediately after the surgery.

Interventions

No intervention assigned as part of this study. OTHER

The intervention included in this study is part of routine medical care, and not assigned as a result of study participation. This study includes only the addition of a measurement; the bent knee fall out test. Therefore, we believe this study design is observational, and in line with the provided observation study design definition: "Observational: studies in human beings in which biomedical and/or health outcomes are assessed in predefined groups of individuals. Participants in the study may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other interventions, but the investigator does not assign specific interventions to the study participants. This includes when participants receive interventions as part of routine medical care, and a researcher studies the effect of the intervention." See uploaded study protocol for further details.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

Athletes with groin pain are consecutively recruited from two clinics of a visceral surgeon specialized in groin pain in athletes. The clinics are located in Bordeaux and Paris, France, and patient population includes athletes from all over France.

You may qualify if:

• adults (\>18 years old)
• athletes (recreational or elite)
• clinical diagnosis of adductor-related groin pain
