Adductors Of The Thigh

The adductors of the thigh constitute a functionally and anatomically distinct muscle group located on the medial aspect of the lower limb. Primarily responsible for hip adduction, this group also plays critical roles in hip flexion, extension, and external rotation. This paper reviews the detailed anatomy of the five primary adductor muscles (pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gracilis), their innervation by the obturator nerve, vascular supply, and biomechanical functions. Additionally, common clinical conditions such as groin strains and avulsion fractures are discussed to highlight the practical importance of this muscle group.
