On the pelvis, the adductor magnus is attached along a line that extends from the inferior pubic ramus, above the attachments of the adductor longus and brevis muscles, and along the ramus of the ischium to the ischial tuberosity. The part of the muscle that originates from the ischiopubic ramus expands laterally and inferiorly to insert on the femur along a vertical line of attachment that extends from just inferior to the quadrate tubercle and medial to the gluteal tuberosity, along the linea aspera and onto the medial supracondylar line. This lateral part of the muscle is often termed the “adductor part” of the adductor magnus.
