    AbstractChronic groin pain in athletes frequently results from adductor insertional tendinopathy. Adductor tenotomy has been proposed for cases recalcitrant to conservative treatment. However, acute tears of the proximal adductor tendons have rarely been described and all of them underwent early repair. This report reviews the relevant literature and adds three more acute proximal adductor longus insertional tears. Diagnosis has been made clinically and was confirmed by ultrasound and MRI. Following early repair using suture anchors and functional postoperative rehabilitation, full sports ability was re-established five, six and seven months, respectively.
