It is usually possible to separate from the principal mass a small anterior short part,' which is inserted into the femur behind the pectineus. The principal mass- is perforated just below the insertion of the pectineus by an opening for the femoral vessels (hiatus adductorius), and is thus divided into two 1 This has been termed by various authors the adductor parvus or brevis. - Termed by various authors the adductor magnus or Please note that these images are extracted from scanne
