Groin

The question was

"Groin injuries can be debilitating and a chronic
sourse of pain. What are the different treatment options for these
chronic injuries and how do they effect recovery time."

1 :  exp *Groin/in [Injuries]         {17}
2 :  limit 1 to (local holdings and human and english language)         {11}
3 :  from 2 keep 2-4,7-9         {6}
4 :  exp *Groin/         {115}
5 :  limit 4 to (local holdings and human and english language)          {70}

Reference Librarian comments

I think your Medline approach is fine. When I poked around in that
subject area, I learned that a lot of these are athletic injuries, so
it might be interesting to also try something like:

1 :  exp athletic injuries/
2 :  exp *groin/

Great job.
