Placed profoundly in relation to the other adductors, the great adductor is a flat muscle with a triangular shape that occupies the whole height of the rough line of the femur with its base.
It originates from the anterior aspect of the ischiopubic branch and from the ischium branch to the ischial tuberosity. Its large muscular belly descends on the medial side of the femur and is divided into two parts. One part is inserted on the medial lip of the asphalt line, the other part as tendon to the tubercle, adductory of the medial epicondyle.
The anterior surface of the muscle is related to the adductors long and short and with the sartorius. Besides being the deepest between the adductor muscles of the hip it is also the most powerful.
With his action he internally rotates the thigh. It can intervene in the flexion and with the fibers coming from the ischial tuberosity in the extension.
It is innervated by the obturator nerve and the tibial nerve of the Asian L2-S1
