The adductor magnus is a large triangular muscle, situated on the medial side of the thigh.. It consists of two parts. The portion which arises from the ischiopubic ramus (a small part of the inferior ramus of the pubis, and the inferior ramus of the ischium) is called the pubofemoral portion, adductor portion, or adductor minimus, and the portion arising from the tuberosity of the ischium is ...
Adductor longus: Front side of the pubic bone under the pubic tubercle: Medial ridge of linea aspera: Obturator nerve (L2-L4) Adductor magnus: Inferior pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity: Medial ridge of linea aspera and the adductor tubercle: Obturator nerve and tibial nerve (L2-L5) Adductor minimus: Inferior pubic ramus: Medial ridge of linea ...
Green is the medial compartment (gracilis and adductor magnus), blue is the posterior (semimembrosus to biceps c. brevis) and red is the anterior (vastus lateralis to sartorius). The fascial compartments of thigh are the three fascial compartments that divide and contain the thigh muscles .
adductor longus; adductor brevis; adductor magnus; The obturator externus muscle is sometimes considered part of this group, [1] [2] [3] and sometimes excluded. [4] (Spatially, it is in this location, but functionally, it is more similar to the other lateral rotator group muscles). The pectineus is sometimes included in this group, [1] [3] and ...

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 medial epicondyle of the femur is an epicondyle, a bony protrusion, located on the medial side of the femur at its distal end.. Located above the medial condyle, it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle, [1] which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or "tendinous insertion", of the adductor magnus. [2]
