Description
[edit | edit source]
Adductor tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendons in the adductor muscles. We can divide them into long and short adductors: the long adductors (Gracilis & Adductor Magnus) go from the pelvis to the knee and the short adductors (Pectineus, Adductor Brevis & Longus) go from the pelvis to the thigh bone. These adductor muscles stabilize the pelvis and pull the legs together (= adduction).

Epidemiology /Etiology[edit | edit source]
We use the adductors a lot in sports like running, football, horse riding, gymnastics, swimming,… These are sports in which we repeat movements, change of direction or stress the adductor tendon quite heavily. Adductor tendinitis and also groin injuries are more prevalence among athletes.
Another cause is the overstretching of the adductor tendons.
