Паховая боль у спортсменов остается одной из наиболее сложных и неоднозначных проблем современной спортивной медицины. За кажущейся простотой клинических проявлений скрывается широкий спектр патологических состояний, требующих тщательного дифференциально-диагностического анализа. Ошибки на этапе диагностики нередко приводят к хронизации процесса, снижению спортивной работоспособности и удлинению сроков реабилитации. Настоящий обзор посвящен систематизации и критической оценке современных представлений о терминологии и классификации, анатомии и клинике паховой боли у спортсменов. Особое внимание уделено вопросам инструментальной диагностики паховой боли и возможностям ультразвукового исследования как метода первичной и динамической оценки состояния паховой области у спортсменов.

Groin pain in athletes remains one of the most challenging and controversial issues in modern sports medicine. Behind the apparent simplicity of clinical manifestations lies a wide spectrum of pathological conditions requiring thorough differential diagnostic analysis. Diagnostic errors often lead to the chronicity of the condition, reduced athletic performance, and prolonged rehabilitation periods. This review is dedicated to the systematization and critical assessment of current perspectives on the terminology, classification, anatomy, and clinical presentation of groin pain in athletes. Particular attention is paid to the issues of medical imaging and the capabilities of ultrasound as a primary and dynamic method for assessing the state of the groin region in athletes.
