APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -It inserts onto the middle third of the medial lip of the linea aspera. This insertion point is between the insertion of the adductor magnus and the origin of vastus medialis muscle, and inferior to the adductor brevis insertion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The adductor longus is a major adductor of the thigh. The muscle is the most anterior in the group. It fans out from its origin on the anterior aspect of the pubis and inserts on the linea aspera of the femur. It covers both the anterior portion of the adductor brevis and the central portion of the adductor magnus.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The adductor part attaches distally to the linea aspera, the gluteal tuberosity on the femur and the medial supracondylar line on the distal femur.

Detailed explanation-5: -The distal attachment of the adductor portion of the adductor magnus on the linea aspera blends with the proximal attachment of the short head of the biceps femoris muscle.
