When it comes to pain within the inguinal canal region due to musculoskeletal causes, there is still a lack of consensus on the appropriate terminology that should be used. For instance, a survey of 23 international groin pain experts were presented a case of a male football player with inguinal region pain and were asked which term they would use to describe the diagnosis. The experts used 22 different terms (!), including but not limited to: inguinal related groin pain, sportsman’s hernia, and incipient hernia. A subsequent expert consensus meeting was able to achieve consensus on a new, preferred term: inguinal-related groin pain.
