Prevalence of asymptomatic radiological findings in the groin region: a systematic review.

Conclusions: Asymptomatic adductor and pubic abnormalities on MRI are frequently present but vary greatly between selected studies. No exact conclusions can be drawn about the prevalence of asymptomatic adductor or pubic findings on MRI due to high heterogeneity between studies. Furthermore, the one article about ultrasound was not enough to draw conclusions for ultrasound findings. It is nonetheless clear that clinicians should be careful to make diagnoses purely based on radiologic findings. A thorough clinical examination and individual interpretation conducted by the clinician remains indispensable. PMID: 32213080 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
