Postoperative MR Imaging of the Pubic Symphysis and Athletic Pubalgia.

MR imaging evaluation can be valuable in patients with prior surgery for athletic pubalgia presenting with new, recurrent, or persistent groin pain. The clinical and interventional history as well as comparison with preoperative imaging is essential for imaging interpretation. Imagers should be aware of expected and unexpected postoperative findings. MR imaging findings concerning for infection, new injury, contralateral injury, or concomitant sources of symptoms (such as hip pathology) should be reported when present.
