An adductor tenotomy (cutting the origin tendons of the adductor muscles of the thigh) and obturator neurectomy (cutting the anterior branch of the obturator nerve) are sometimes performed on children with cerebral palsy.
The medial compartment of thigh is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle. The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment. The obturator artery is the blood supply to the medial thigh. The muscles in the compartment are: gracilis; adductor longus; adductor ...
In the human body, the adductor longus is a skeletal muscle located in the thigh. One of the adductor muscles of the hip, its main function is to adduct the thigh and it is innervated by the obturator nerve. It forms the medial wall of the femoral triangle.

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 muscles of the hip, the most common reference in humans, but may also refer to Adductor brevis muscle, a muscle in the thigh situated immediately behind the pectineus and adductor longus; Adductor hallucis muscle, a muscle responsible for adducting the big toe; Adductor longus muscle, a skeletal muscle located in the thigh
Medial compartment muscles are pectineus, adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis, and also gracilis. Because the major muscles of the thigh are the largest muscles of the body, resistance exercises (strength training) of them stimulate blood flow more than any other localized activity. [5]
