    Abstract

    Stress fractures and reactions of the pubic ramus, pubic symphsitis, gracilis syndrome, pelvic avulsion injuries, femoral stress fractures, degenerative osteoarthritis, discogenic pain, and spondylolysis are among the multiple conditions causing groin pain in the athlete. These conditions occasionally have uncertain etiologies and are contributed to by poor training techniques and ill-repaired running shoes, combined with minor congenital anomalies that may have been silent prior to the demands of athletic competition. Roentgen documentation of the specific injury enables early appropriate treatment and minimal "down time".
