Bilateral adductor abcess following grion injury

ABSTRACT

Pubic pain is a common symptom in athletes and in soccer players.Its cause can be difficult to determine. We report a case in a 14-year-old boy who presented with bilateral adductor muscle abcesses following a trivial injury to the groin. The etiology, radiological findings and treatment, along with literature review are discussed. The main causes of pubic pain after sports are thought to be sports related microtrauma to the pubic rami or symphysis and lesions of the oblique, rectus or adductor muscles or their tendons1, 2. Osteitis pubis refers to a painful inflammation of the periosteum, bone, cartilage and ligamentous structures of the anterior half of the pelvis. Pubic osteomyelitis is an uncommon entity, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of Heamatogenous osteomyelitis. We report a case of bilateral adductor muscle abcess six week after a trivial injury in sports
