Article on Dr William Meyers: "medicine’s most prominent expert on core injuries"
I came across this article on Dr William Meyers and the Vincera Institute and thought it might be interesting to others. Dr Meyers is mentioned with some frequency on these forums and elsewhere, usually in regard to core athletic injuries (“sports hernia”) but the clinic is also known to handle regular groin hernias for athletic patients as well.

The article mentions many top professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB that have had procedures done by Dr Meyers, and the author of the article was also treated by Dr Meyers successfully for a groin injury after several failed diagnostic attempts elsewhere, which I think makes it particularly relevant to these forums as there are many people who have groin pain that goes unresolved, untreated, or undiagnosed. Interesting article and read, though I wish it were more detailed from an anatomical/surgical standpoint, and as to what each specific diagnosis is/was.

quote Good intentions:Thanks for posting this Chaunce1234. It’s a shame that Dr. Meyers isn’t more active professionally. His quiet nature and skill only helps a relatively small number of people. Maybe as he gets close to retirement he’ll share his knowledge. Otherwise everything he knows will be wasted. He must have something to say about repair of direct and indirect hernias.I agree that the knowledge should be shared widely. Dr Meyers has published a variety of papers on core muscle injuries, so the information may be out there for those who are receptive to reading it:

The good news is that Dr Alexander Poor was trained by Dr Meyers and they work together at Vincera. Dr Poor biography states a specific interest in hernias.

Hopefully additional doctors will be trained in the appropriate techniques as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a situation where repeat exposure and practice makes perfect, which is undoubtedly time consuming and difficult.
