What the heck is a sports hernia?
I am a sports fan. ESPN is my favorite network. Over the past year I have noticed that more and more athletes are suffering from sports hernias. I did not recall hearing this phrase in the past. I was reading an article about Donovan McNabb this morning. It included a reminder that he is having surgery for a sports hernia. One of the guards on my favorite college basketball team is out recovering from sports hernia surgery. Here I am, a full professor of medicine and I do not know what the heck a sports hernia is. So - the internet comes to the rescue:
