| Feb. 9, 2015 Bob21 47 posts | I had this surgery (out patient) in Dec 2013 in Omaha. Dr. Tom Webb, vascular surgeon. Common term for athletic pubalgia is "sports hernia". Ab muscles detached from pubic bone. The adductor is a secondary part of the surgery. Some doctors will "release the adductor" (cut it) so it isn't in play. Not always done as a routine. My doc didn't have to do it. He sewed the muscles back and used mesh. I have had no complications. Recovery from the sports hernia surgery was quick. Back to full duty in about 4 weeks for me. Down for the count really for just a few days. Best thing I did was get this done. Physical therapy didn't help. I would rest and take it easy, no issues, then bam, hurt like a mother$%, especially when running the bases. One thing to note, it will probably be mis-diagnosed. My GP said I had an abdominal strain, I knew different from basic research and found Dr. Webb after contacting the University of Nebraska football trainers for guidance. I don't know what area you're in, but call to any major D-1 football program training department and see who they can refer you to. Insurance covered it for me (Blue Cross). It was billed as a hernia. Dr. Meyer in Philly is the man, however, if you're not from that area that could be an i$$ue. |
