Conclusion<br />

Hip disorders such as labral tear, may present with groin pain. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

distribution <strong>of</strong> pain can be similar to that <strong>of</strong> an inguinal hernia, with<br />

groin pain radiating down the leg and around the back and worsening<br />

with activities. Key questions in the history can help differentiate a hip<br />

disorder from that <strong>of</strong> an inguinal hernia. Remember that patients with<br />

inguinal hernias may have a primary hip problem. A hip X-ray and MRI,<br />

preferably a dedicated hip MR arthrogram, are diagnostic. See Chap. 8 ,<br />

for a full review and discussion on this very important topic.
