Reason: Assess for rectus abdominus tear at pelvic insertion, sports hernia History: Pain at lower abdomen/groin. There is mild intermediate signal intensity within the prepubic aponeurotic complex, to the left of midline, which may reflect degeneration, but we see no tear of the rectus abdominis or the adductor tendons. The adductor musculature of the hip appears normal. Mild osteoarthritis affects both hips and the sacroiliac joints. Severe degenerative disc disease affects the lower lumbar spine. There is focal atrophy of the right gluteus maximus muscle, posteriorly, with vascularity perhaps representing a venous malformation. There are foci of low signal intensity within the overlying soft tissues which may represent an injection granuloma.
1. No findings to suggest a tear of the rectus abdominis or other specific findings of a sports hernia. 2. Severe degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and other findings as described above.
