title: Surgical treatment of pubic pain refractory to conservative treatment.
abstract: After some considerations on the biomechanical nature of pubic pain, the authors present a series of 17 leading athletes (14 professional football players, 1 marathon runner, 1 weight-lifter and 1 French boxer), complaining of this disorder for at least one year and refractory to conservative treatment, surgically treated with the Nesovic technique and evaluated after an average follow-up period of two years (18-30 months).
