Medial compartment of the thigh

Last revised by Craig Hacking on 25 Aug 2021

The medial (adductor) compartment of the thigh is one of the three compartments in the thigh. Muscles within this compartment form the adductor group as they primarily produce hip adduction.

The thigh is separated into anterior, posterior and medial (adductor) compartments by intermuscular septa and surrounded by the fascia lata.
