  • Title: Inguinal hernia and a single strenuous event.
    Author: Smith GD, Crosby DL, Lewis PA.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1996 Jul; 78(4):367-8. PubMed ID: 8712653.
    Abstract:
    A study of 129 consecutive patients, who had a total of 145 inguinal hernias, showed that in only 7% of the patients was the hernia subjectively attributable to a single muscular strain. Guidelines are suggested to assist in assessing 'cause' in claims for industrial injury in such patients.
