Groin Strain

Definition

A groin strain is a partial tear of the small fibers of the adductor muscles. The adductors are a group of three muscles located on the inner side of the thigh. They start in the groin area and run down the inner thigh to the inner side of the knee.

Muscles of the Groin


A groin strain can be caused by:

* Stretching the adductor muscles beyond the amount of tension that they can withstand
* Suddenly putting stress on the adductor muscles when they are not ready for the stress
* Using the adductor muscles too much on a certain day
* A direct blow to the adductor muscles

Risk Factors

A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting an injury. Risk factors for a groin strain include:

* Participation in sports that require bursts of speed, such as:
o Running
o Hurdles
o Long jump
o Basketball
o Soccer
o Football
o Rugby
* Fatigue
* Tight groin muscles
* Overexertion
* Cold weather

Symptoms

Symptoms include:

* Pain and tenderness in the groin area
* Stiffness in the groin area

* Popping or snapping sensation as the muscle tears (possibly)
