Aductor mayor

Both adductor and hamstring portions of the adductor magnus are thigh adductors [1].

• The adductor portion also flexes and internaly rotates the thigh. 
• The hamstring portion also also extends and externaly rotates the thigh.

The distal attachment of the adductor magnus' adductor portion on the linea aspera merges with the proximal attachment of the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. This merging allows the 2 muscles to work cooperatively to stabilize the femur and pelvis [1].
