From Wikidoc - Reading time: 2 min
The medial fascial compartment of thigh contains the hip adductors.
The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment.
The muscles in the compartment are:
The obturator externus muscle is sometimes considered part of this group,[1][2][3] and sometimes excluded.[4] (Spatially, it is it in this location, but functionally, it is more similar to the other lateral rotator group muscles).
The pectineus is sometimes included in this group,[1][3] and sometimes excluded.[2][4] (It has the same function as the others in this group, but different innervation.)
