It separates the anterior and posterior branches of the obturator nerve and is an important anatomical landmark within the medial thigh. Attachments: Originates from the body of pubis and inferior pubic rami. Attaches to the linea aspera on the posterior surface of the femur (proximal to the adductor longus attachment). Actions: Adduction of the thigh. Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2-L4). Blood Supply: Obturator artery. By TeachMeSeries Ltd (2025) Fig 1Muscles of the medial thigh.
