Pubic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Surgically and Conservatively Treated Athletes with Osteitis Pubis Compared to Asymptomatic Athletes during Heavy Training

Abstract

This study indicated that the placement of retropubic mesh was an efficient method for the treatment of severe pubic enthesopathy in athletes. Abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings were also common in asymptomatic athletes, which decreases the value of magnetic resonance imaging in surgical decision-making.
