HISTORY
A 17-year-old male right-footed footballer presented with a 6-month history of left-sided groin pain which was persistent despite resting for 6 weeks. Pain occurred during running and daily activities including climbing the stairs and turning over in bed. On examination, the cardinal findings were tenderness of the pubic bone near the adductor insertion on the left side and pubic pain during resisted adduction.
