Feeley et al
36 found that 3% of all NFL injuries involved the hip and were primarily muscle strains (36.3%). Defensive backs and WRs had the most hip injuries, and offensive linemen missed the most time (mean, 18.3 days). Blocking was the most common mechanism of hip injury, and contusions were due to contact while strains were usually noncontact injuries. Proximal rectus femoris avulsion was successfully treated nonoperatively, but time to RTP varied from 3 to 10 weeks.
40 Adductor longus ruptures were usually treated nonoperatively, with RTP at a mean of 6 weeks, but surgery was indicated in approximately 25% of cases and RTP took 12 weeks.
