Treatment
The success of surgery for groin disruption (Gilmore’s Groin) depends on accurate diagnosis, meticulous repair of each element of the disruption and intensive rehabilitation according to a standard rehabilitation programme. Surgery is indicated in sportsmen, who are unable to play, or fail to respond to rehabilitation.
The surgical treatment consists of restoring normal anatomy with a six-layered structural repair of the inguinal region. Adductor tenotomy is indicated in patients with persistent and troublesome adductor tears, which do not respond to conservative treatment.
