Abstract

The groin pain syndrome affects athletes with high incidence and, mainly due to the anatomical complexity of the pelvic region and the difficult management of its pathologies, it is the subject of great debate in the scientific community. One of these disagreements is in relation to the nomenclature employed in sports hernia, as it does not translate the reality as to its pathophysiological findings. In fact, there is no hernial sac in this condition, but a weakness of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and, with it, the protrusion of the omentum (pre-peritoneal) fat. In this article, it is proposed to create and use the term ʻʻinguinomalaciaʼʼ as a replacement for sports hernia.
