Hip

Condition Anatomy

The Adductor Tendons connect the inner thigh muscles to the pelvis and femur, playing a key role in hip stability, side-to-side movement, and athletic performance.

Understanding the Injury

Adductor Tendon Injuries occur due to sudden forceful movements, overstretching, sprinting, or rapid direction changes. 

Symptoms include: groin pain, weakness with leg movement, pain during running or pivoting, and localized tenderness. 

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

  • Activity Modification 
  • Physical Therapy focused on controlled Strengthening 
  • Ultrasound-Guided Biologic Injections when Appropriate 

Surgical Treatment Options 

Surgery is reserved for complete tears or chronic cases unresponsive to conservative care. 

Special Considerations 

Athletes and Soccer players are at higher risk.

Recovery Expectations 

Recovery ranges from 4 to 10 Weeks. Delay may lead to chronic groin pain and weakness.

When to See an Orthopedic Surgeon 

Persistent groin pain or loss of athletic function should be evaluated early.
