As part of the Hip Preservation Program at UPMC Orthopaedic Care, a collaborative sports hernia clinic is offered once per month at the same location.
Sports hernias, or groin and core muscle pain, often accompany hip conditions or injuries. While treating the hip may require and orthopaedic surgeon’s attention, core muscle repair often requires the attention of a general surgeon, making a combined clinic such as this very convenient for patients who have both ailments.
In some cases, surgical repair of both the hip condition and sports hernia may be done simultaneously during one surgery with an orthopaedic surgeon and general surgeon. This efficient method allows for one anesthetic and a single rehabilitative period in which the surgeons and physical therapists monitor the patient’s progress.
Our orthopaedic and general surgeons, along with sports medicine and rehabilitation professionals, work collaboratively to develop appropriate treatment plans for groin pain syndromes. Each team member has specialized training in treating athletes and active individuals with groin and core pain through individualized surgical and rehabilitation programs.
During the monthly sports hernia clinic, each member of the collaborative team is present to work alongside patients in achieving their personal needs and goals for recovery.
