Abstract

Objectives

Hip and groin injury is more common in male athletes, but no systematic review has examined its prevalence and incidence in female field invasion team sport.

Methods

Six databases were searched independently by two authors who selected eligible studies, assessed risk of bias and extracted data. Studies reporting the prevalence and/or incidence of hip and groin injury were included. Proportional meta-analyses provided pooled estimates and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system determined the strength of evidence.

Results

Twenty-five articles were selected for inclusion. The prevalence of time loss hip and groin injury ranged from 0 to 74 % (4.42 %, 1.91, 9.91), while non-time loss cases ranged from 1 to 35 % (9.54 %, 1.15, 48.91). Time loss cases represented 0–17 % of total injuries (4.10 %, 2.54, 6.56). The strength of the evidence for pooled estimates was very low due to inconsistency and publication bias. Incidence rates ranged from 0.3 to 1.02 per 1000 athlete-hours. Adductor-related injury was the most frequently reported diagnosis.

Conclusion

Hip and groin injury in female field sports is common but rates vary due to heterogeneity across studies. Standardised definitions and methodological approaches must be employed in future studies to facilitate data pooling and better quantify the injury burden in this cohort.
