Management of a nonathlete with a traumatic groin strain and osteitis pubis using manual therapy and therapeutic exercise: A case report.
Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 2020 June
INTRODUCTION: Without a definitive single pathoanatomical origin for groin pain, management is difficult. The purpose of this case report is to describe the differential diagnosis and management of an individual with a traumatic groin strain. Case Description : A 47-year-old sedentary male truck driver presented to physical therapy with a 2-month history of right medial groin pain. Pushing the gas pedal and sitting were painful activities. Pain was 3-8/10 on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The patient reported 46/80 on the Lower Extremity Functional Scale. Examination : Tenderness was noted along the adductor longus muscle belly, right pubic ramus and hip range of motion was limited. Special tests directed at the hip and pelvic region indicated intraarticular and pelvic dysfunction. Treatment included hip and pubic symphysis joint mobilizations, lumbopelvic manipulation, adductor longus soft-tissue mobilization, and core strengthening. Outcome : 12 sessions of physical therapy resulted in LEFS to 80/80, Global Rating of Change (GROC) + 7, and NPRS 0/10 at worst. The patient returned to full work without restriction. Discussion : Groin pain has many pathoanatomical drivers. Management of a traumatic groin injury requires a thorough evaluation and a global treatment approach, in order to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of the pathology becoming chronic.
