The
muscles that draw the leg inwards (adduct the hip joint)
are: adductor longus, adductor magnus, adductor brevis, gracilis
and pectineus. Each of these muscles arises from the pubic
bone.
Mechanism of
Injury:
Overstretching of one or all of the adductor muscles,
eg. sudden change of direction or pivot.
Symptoms
Sudden momentary stabbing pain in the groin region
during activity.
Local bleeding can cause swelling and bruising, which
may not appear until a few days after the injury has
occurred.
If the muscle cannot contract there is reason to suspect
a total rupture.
When the rupture is in the muscle-tendon junction a
defect can be felt at the site of the injury.
Treatment:
Please
consult with your medical professional for a complete diagnosis
and treatment plan.
