Figure 5.

Adductor brevis muscle. The adductor longus and both gracilis muscles were reflected laterally to show the adductor brevis muscle within the medial aspect of the thigh. The red pin highlights its origin and the blue pins its insertion; only the insertion of the genicular part is visible. The white arrowhead indicates the course of the cranial branch of the obturator nerve (a). The adductor brevis muscle was detached from its origin and pulled distally. The insertion of its femoral part can be observed bordered by the blue pins (b). In both pictures, the thigh was abducted in the hip joint. ab = adductor brevis muscle, al = adductor longus muscle, am = adductor magnus muscle, ami = adductor minimus muscle, fp = femoral part of adductor brevis muscle, gp = genicular part of adductor brevis muscle, P = patella / patellar ligament, p = pectineus muscle, S = pelvic symphysis, sm = semimembranosus muscle, st = semitendinosus muscle, vm = vastus medialis muscle.
