Abstract

Osteitis pubis was described as a painful inflammation of the pubic symphysis, common in athletes who performed repetitive movements such as kicking, turning and changing direction. Symptoms included pain in the front of the pelvis, radiating to the groin and difficulty with activities such as running or climbing stairs. Its diagnosis was based on clinical evaluations and imaging studies, such as X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment required a multidisciplinary approach combining relative rest, physiotherapy, physical therapies, anti-inflammatory medication and, in severe cases, surgery. In Argentina, this condition significantly affected athletes, especially in disciplines such as soccer, rugby and hockey, so prevention and rehabilitation programs were implemented in sports centers.
