We offer groundbreaking surgical procedures and treatment for sports hernia, also known as core muscle injury or athletic pubalgia.
Sports Hernia Surgery & Treatment for Core Muscle Injury
FIND OUT IF OUR CORE MUSCLE INJURY PROCEDURE IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
OUR ADVANCED SPORTS HERNIA PROCEDURE FOR CORE MUSCLE INJURY
We have pioneered several advances that have improved the standard treatment of core muscle injuries, also known as Sports Hernia or Athletic Pubalgia.
Treatment of the nerves in the area of the injury is a key aspect in the treatment of sports hernia.
These nerves are often overlooked at other centers. Failure to treat the injured nerves can lead to continued pain and shock feelings in the groin and genitals. Our surgeons repair these injured nerves to maximize surgical outcomes.
Use of bone-anchored mesh reinforcement of the core muscles.
DIAGNOSING SPORTS HERNIA
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Groin pain that doesn’t go away with rest
- Pain that flares during strenuous activity, like sprinting, twisting, or kicking
- Pain that came on gradually, without one specific injury
- Electric shock or tingling pain in the groin or genital area
- Symptoms that keep returning when you get back to training or sports
If you checked one or more, a sports hernia evaluation may be the next step. While it’s most common in active, physically fit people, anyone can injure their core muscles.
TREATING SPORTS HERNIA
1. Core Muscle Repair
Your surgeon repairs the injured core muscles that cause chronic groin pain.
2. Nerve Treatment, If Needed
Injured nerves may be freed from scar tissue (neurolysis) or repaired (neurorrhaphy).
3. Outpatient Surgery
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so there’s no overnight hospital stay.
4. Immediate Therapy
A structured therapy protocol begins right after surgery to support your recovery.

About
The Institute for
Advanced Reconstruction
The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction is uniquely positioned as the ‘go-to’ center for revolutionary nerve procedures, as well as world-class reconstructive treatments.
These include cutting-edge procedures such as nerve transplantation that may restore a significant degree of function for those who have suffered from stroke and other forms of paralysis. Patients who at one time believed they had exhausted their paralysis treatment options come from around the country and the globe to our practice in New York City and Red Bank, New Jersey.
The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction is also composed of the Axon Advance Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on new horizons in research, innovation and surgical treatments for peripheral nerve damage and spinal cord injury.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
A true hernia involves a weakening or a hole in the layers of the abdominal wall, with little to no pain or discomfort. A hernia is repaired by the placement of mesh to repair the hole. Athletic pubalgia, or sports hernia, is a core muscle injury that results in pain and discomfort in the groin area. There is no hole or weakening in the abdominal wall layers.
The abdominal muscles and adductor muscles in the legs make up the core muscles. These are the muscles that push and pull on the groin or pelvis. Injury to the abdominal (most common) and adductor (less common) muscles causes a disharmony of forces on the pelvis. This leads to chronic groin pain seen in core muscle injuries/Athletic Pubalgia.
Core muscle injury surgery is done as an outpatient procedure. This means the patient goes home the same day as the surgery. A recovery protocol is started almost immediately. Most patients are fully recovered by six weeks and are back to normal physical activity by three months.
