There are five adductor muscles, the pectineus, adductor brevis and adductor longus (called short adductors) go from the pelvis to the thigh bone and the gracilis and adductor magnus (long ...

These adductors are assisted by the gracilis and the pectineus. The gracilis helps to flex the leg at the knee. The main adductors of the hip are the adductor magnus muscle, ...

The authors compared 18 MPFL reconstructions with adductor magnus tendon to 29 Roux-Goldwait procedures (partial transposition of the insertion of the patella tendon) with regard to the Kujala ...

Objective The adductor muscles are implicated in the pathogenesis of groin strain, but the proximal morphology of this muscle group is poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ...

Together, these five muscles—the pectineus, gracilis, adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus—function to provide stability and injury prevention for your knees, hips, and low ...

There are four adductor muscles, the adductor longus, the adductor medius, the adductor magnus and the adductor gracilis. The adductor muscles insert into the lower part of the pelvis. A strain of ...

On the medial side (closest to the middle) of the thigh, the adductor magnus muscle creates the shape of a large triangle. As an adductor, it contracts and pulls the hip towards the body's midline.
