Symptoms include pain during sports movements, particularly hip extension, and twisting and turning. This pain usually radiates to the adductor muscle region and even the testicles, although it is often difficult for the patient to pin-point the exact location. Following sporting activity the person with athletic pubalgia will be stiff and sore.
The abductor digiti minimi arises from the pisiform bone, the pisohamate ligament, and the flexor retinaculum. [1]Its distal tendon ends in three slips that are inserted into the ulnopalmar margin of the proximal phalanx, the palmar plate of the metacarpophalangeal joint, and the sesamoid bone when present.
A Stener lesion is a type of traumatic injury to the thumb. It occurs when the aponeurosis of the adductor pollicis muscle becomes interposed between the ruptured ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb and its site of insertion at the base of the proximal phalanx. No longer in contact with its insertion site, the UCL cannot spontaneously ...

The iliacus and nearby muscles. The hip flexors are (in descending order of importance to the action of flexing the hip joint): [2] Collectively known as the iliopsoas or inner hip muscles:
The pectineus muscle is the most anterior adductor of the hip. The muscle's primary action is hip flexion; it also produces adduction and external rotation of the hip. It can be classified in the medial compartment of thigh [2] (when the function is emphasized) or the anterior compartment of thigh (when the nerve is emphasized). [3]
However, with ulnar nerve palsy, the patient will experience difficulty maintaining a hold using the adductor pollicis. They will instead use the flexor pollicis longus of the thumb to grip the paper causing a flexion of the interphalangeal joint.
The adductor minimus originates on the pelvis at the inferior ramus of the pubis as the anterior-most part of the adductor magnus. It is inserted on the back of the femur at the medial lip of the linea aspera and thus crosses the proximal part of the true adductor magnus. [2]
