Abstract

Obturator neuropathy is a cause of exercise-related groin pain, particularly in those who play sports that involve much running, twisting and turning, and kicking. Symptoms include pain that begins insidiously at the adductor origin on the pubic bone and worsens with exercise. Diagnostic measures include reproduction of pain by stretching the pectineus muscle after exercise, electromyography, and a local anesthetic block of the obturator nerve. Surgery allows most patients to resume previous levels of activity.
