The chief complaint of groin pain is a common reason for patient encounters in both primary care and sports medicine clinics across the United States and worldwide. With a broad differential diagnosis causing both primary and secondary causes of groin pain, a thorough history and physical examination are key components of any patient's workup. When combined with appropriate imaging studies, the cause for groin pain can accurately be diagnosed in the majority of patients. In this chapter, we will review how to take and document a thorough history and physical exam for patients with a chief complaint of groin pain.
