I'm starting to think I am stupid having this done just so I can play football for a few more years.
For those with a care, this is what I have and what is being done.
Gilmore’s Groin (Groin Disruption)
The syndrome was first recognised in 1980, following the successful treatment of three professional footballers who had been unable to play for many months because of undiagnosed injuries of the groin. Although some people refer to it as a Sportmen’s Hernia there is no true hernia present. Groin disruption (Gilmore’s Groin) is a severe musculo-tendinous injury of the groin, which can be successfully treated by the surgical restoration of normal anatomy.
Read more about Gilmore's Groin and the Operation.
Pathology
The pathology of groin disruption found at operation is varied, however, the main features include:
torn external oblique aponeurosis
torn conjoined tendon
conjoined tendon torn from pubic tubercle
dehiscence between conjoined tendon and inguinal ligament
