Do pelvic dimensions predict recurrence in inguinal hernia? A matched case–control analysis

Pelvic bone morphology, particularly the length of the Ami's line, is strongly associated with the presence of inguinal hernia. However, these anatomical features do not appear to predict recurrence. These findings suggest that while the pelvic configuration may influence hernia susceptibility, occupational strain remains a more relevant factor for recurrence.

Abstract

Pelvic bone morphology, particularly the length of the Ami's line, is strongly associated with the presence of inguinal hernia. However, these anatomical features do not appear to predict recurrence. These findings suggest that while the pelvic configuration may influence hernia susceptibility, occupational strain remains a more relevant factor for recurrence.
