The adductor longus arises from the body of pubis inferior to pubic crest and lateral to pubic symphysis. [1] It lies ventrally on the adductor magnus, and near the femur, the adductor brevis is interposed between these two muscles. Distally, the fibers of the adductor longus extend into the adductor canal. [1]
Adductor pollicis; Lower limb. of thigh at hip [5] medial compartment of thigh/adductor muscles of the hip. Adductor longus; Adductor brevis; Adductor magnus; Pectineus;
The adductor group is made up of: Adductor brevis; Adductor longus; Adductor magnus; Adductor minimus This is often considered to be a part of adductor magnus. pectineus; gracilis; Obturator externus [1] is also part of the medial compartment of thigh
The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion. The gluteus maximus is the main hip extensor, but the inferior portion of the adductor magnus also plays a role. The adductor group is responsible for hip adduction.
The femoral triangle is bounded: [2] superiorly (also known as the base) by the inguinal ligament. [2]medially by the medial border of the adductor longus muscle. (Some people consider the femoral triangle to be smaller hence the medial border being at the lateral border of the adductor longus muscle.) [2]
The adductor canal extends from the apex of the femoral triangle to the adductor hiatus. It is an intermuscular cleft situated on the medial aspect of the middle third of the anterior compartment of the thigh, and has the following boundaries: medial wall - sartorius. posterior wall - adductor longus and adductor magnus. anterior wall - vastus ...
Adductor longus; Adductor brevis; Gracilis; Without the iliopsoas muscles, flexion in sitting position is not possible across the horizontal plane. [2] Thigh.
Between the adductor magnus and the vastus medialis four muscles are inserted: the iliacus muscle and pectineus muscle above; the adductor brevis muscle and adductor longus muscle below. The linea aspera is perforated a little below its center by the nutrient canal, which is directed obliquely upward. [1]
