Description
Aim: The primary aim of this study was to describe the clinical entities and imaging characteristics of groin injuries in women’s football.
Methods: During the 2020 and 2021 seasons, players in the Norwegian women’s premier football league reported groin injuries weekly, using the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Questionnaire on Health Problems. The team physical therapist (PT) classified the athlete-reported injuries using a standardized examination form. Injuries with more than 3 days’ time-loss or reported in 2 consecutive weeks were eligible for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), applied to describe the injury characteristics.
