The adductor tubercle is a tubercle on the lower extremity of the femur. It is formed where the medial lips of the linea aspera end below at the summit of the medial condyle. It is the insertion point of the tendon of the vertical fibers of the adductor magnus muscle. [1] [2]

The adductor tubercle is the small prominence found on the superomedial aspect of the medial condyle of femur. It is found at the inferior end of the medial supracondylar line and lies superior to the medial epicondyle of femur. It provides an insertion site for the adductor magnus muscle.

Adductor tubercle – The adductor tubercle is a small bump that rests on the top of the medial condyle, which allows the insertion of the tendon of the adductor magnus.

2023年11月17日 · The posterior part arises from the ischial tuberosity and inserts onto the adductor tubercle of the femur and receives innervation from the tibial aspect of the sciatic nerve (L4), and functions as a hamstring.

The adductor tubercle is a notable bony protrusion located at the peak of the medial condyle of the femur, marking the termination of the medial supracondylar line. It serves as a point of attachment for the lowermost portion of the adductor magnus muscle.

2023年10月30日 · The adductor part of the muscle inserts onto the gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera and medial supracondylar line of femur, while the hamstring part inserts onto the adductor tubercle of femur. Adductor magnus has a dual nerve supply; the adductor part is innervated by the posterior division of the obturator nerve (L2-L4), while the hamstring ...

2021年8月2日 · The adductor tubercle is a bony protuberance on the medial condyle of the femur and is located superior to the medial epicondyle. It demarcates the inferior most aspect of the medial supracondylar line.

The adductor tubercle (AT) has been used intraoperatively as a landmark to evaluate the joint line position in knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the AT could be clearly identified on radiographic imaging as well ...

2020年12月13日 · The adductor tubercle is found distally on the femur and is formed from the termination of the medial supracondylar line. The adductor tubercle serves as the point of attachment for the adductor magnus muscle.

By utilizing axial, coronal, and sagittal views of knee computed tomography scans, the adductor magnus tendon was identified and followed distally to its insertion (adductor tubercle) on the distal femur.
