In human anatomy, the Adductor muscles of the hip is a group of five
muscles of the hip.
The adductor brevis, adductor
longus, adductor magnus, pectineus, and gracilis make up the adductor group.
The adductors all originate on the pubis and insert on the medial, posterior surface of
the femur, with the exception of the gracilis which inserts just below the medial condyle of the tibia.
They are supplied by the obturator nerve.
