The concept of sports hernia is far beyond the real hernia. When there is a disruption or tearing in the groin’s tendons and muscles of athletes, it is known as Sports hernia or Gilmore’s Groin or Sportsman’s Hernia. The injury may be any of these types:
Conjoined tendon tear
Oblique aponeurosis external tear
When conjoined tendon gets separated from the tender pubic tubercle
When conjoined tendon gets separated from inguinal ligament
Several patients have concomitant tear or injury to adductor muscle
