The muscle that primarily adducts the hip and extends the knee is the adductor magnus. This large muscle is located in the inner thigh and plays a significant role in hip adduction, while its posterior fibers also assist in extending the knee. In addition to the adductor magnus, the quadriceps group can contribute to knee extension. However, the primary focus for both actions is the adductor magnus.
