Adductor Magnus #muscle #anatomy 🦵🏋️‍♀️ | Dr. Ishtiaque Arafat

The adductor magnus is a large muscle that attaches at the bottom of the pelvis and along various points on the femur. If the pelvis is fixed, it moves the femur in a few different ways: 🔹One portion flexes the thigh and works as a medial rotator. 🔹Another extends the thigh and is a lateral rotator. 🔹Both portions adduct the thigh. You can change the action of a muscle depending on what attachment point stays stationary and what part moves. For the adductor, if the femur is fixed, the proxima

The adductor hiatus is an opening in the distal portion of the adductor magnus muscle, located just above the knee. It serves as a passage for the femoral artery and vein as they transition into the popliteal vessels within the popliteal fossa. Clinically, it is significant because vascular injuries or occlusions near this site can lead to popliteal artery entrapment or thrombosis. 🔗👇 Link Below 👇🔗 -- Read: https://wikism.org/Adductor_Hiatus -- Watch: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SdYYkw-to
