ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the MR findings in athletes with pubalgia. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Pelvic MR images of 32 athletes (30 men, 2 women) with pubalgia were studied. T1-weighted and T2-weighted (SE and FSE) and STIR images in the axial and coronal planes were obtained on a 1.5-T system. Images were reviewed for general pelvic pathology. Special attention was given to the pubic symphysis, groin and pelvic musculature, and to the abdominal wall musculature.RESULTS:
Thirty surgically confirmed cases comprise the study group. Abnormalities in the following were found pubic symphysis (21/30), abdominal wall (27/30), groin musculature, including rectus abdominis (21/30), pectineus (6/30), and adductor muscle group (18/30).CONCLUSIONS:
Pubalgia is a complex process which is frequently multifactorial. The MRI findings can alter the surgical approach.
