  1. Medial Compartment of Thigh & Adductor or Subsartorial Canal Dr. Vohra

  2. Contents of the Medial Fascial Compartment of the Thigh Muscles: Gracilis, adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and obturator externus Vessels: Profunda femoris and Obturator vessels Nerve: Obturator nerve

  3. Medial Fascial Compartment of the Thigh

  4. Muscles of the Medial Fascial Compartment of the Thigh

  6. Profunda Femoris • Is a branch of femoral artery in the • femoral triangle. Descends in the interval • between the adductor longus and • adductor brevis and then lies on the • adductor magnus, ends as the fourth • perforating artery • Branches • Medial femoral circumflex artery: • Give muscular branches to medial compartment • Takes part cruciate anastomosis • Lateral femoral circumflex artery: • 4 Perforating branches: • 3 arise as branches of the profunda femoris artery; the fourth perforating artery is the terminal part of the profunda artery

  7. Profunda Femoris Vein The profunda femoris vein receives tributaries that correspond to the branches of the artery. It drains into the femoral vein. The obturator artery Is a branch of the internal iliac artery. On entering the medial fascial compartment of the thigh, it divides into medial and lateral branches, It gives off muscular branches and an articular branch to the hip joint. Obturator Vein The obturator vein receives tributaries that correspond to the branches of the artery. It drains into the internal iliac vein.

  8. Obturator Nerve Nerve of Medial Fascial Compartment of the Thigh The posterior division pierces the obturator externus and passes downward behind the adductor brevis and in front of the adductor magnus The anterior division passes downward in front of the obturator externus.

  9. The adductor hiatus is a gap in the distal attachment of adductor magnus to the femur, which permits the femoral vessels to pass from the adductor canal downward into the popliteal space.

  10. Adductor or Subsartorial Canal

  11. Adductor canal Also called as subsartorial canal or Hunter’s canal It is intermuscular space situated below the sartorius muscle in the middle 1/3rd of the thigh

  12. Adductor canal DIMENSION It extends from the apex of the femoral triangle to adductor hiatus • BOUNDARIES • Anterioromedial: • Sartorius fascia • Posterior: • Adductor longus magnus • Lateral: • Vastus medialis • CONTENTS: • Femoral artery • Femoral vein • Deep lymph vessels • Saphenous nerve • Nerve to vastus medialis • Anterior division of obturator nerve Subsartorial plexuses

  13. The posterior surface of shaft of the femur has a ridge, the linea aspera that gives attachment to muscles and intermuscular septa. The medial margins of the linea aspera continues below as the medial supracondylar ridge to the adductor tubercle on the medial condyle
