Musculus Adductor Magnus Today

: It fans out to insert along the linea aspera and the adductor tubercle of the femur.

The hamstring part is often called the "fourth hamstring" because it acts synergistically with the hamstrings during hip extension (e.g., rising from a squat, climbing stairs).

Forms the anterior, more horizontal section of the muscle.

Supplied by the tibial component of the sciatic nerve (roots L4, L5, S1).
