ADDUCTOR MUSCLES OF THE FEMUR ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS - LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The literature review for this study demonstrated that the femoral adductor muscle group is composed of a complex architecture that remains difficult to understand in its entirety. We conclude that the femoral adductor muscles can present anatomical variations in their shape, size, insertions, and even the functions they perform. This is of paramount importance from a clinical perspective, since, during surgeries in the medial thigh region, their entire composition and possible variations must be taken into account to avoid risks related to the innervation and vascularization of the lower limbs. Understanding regional anatomy is essential to avoid impacting the biomechanical balance of the hip and thigh in both clinical and surgical contexts.
