Figure 1. Medial view, transverse plane. adductors
Transverse ultrasound section of the medial thigh displaying the adductor muscle group. In this projection, the muscles are arranged in layers above each other, superficially the adductor longus, beneath it the adductor brevis, and deepest the adductor magnus, which allows clear visualization of their mutual anatomical relationships. This projection is important for assessment of the adductor musculature and for detection of muscle ruptures, hematomas, or other pathological changes in the medial thigh region.
Figure 2. Medial view, oblique plane. adductor attachment to the pubic bone
Oblique ultrasound section of the medial part of the groin focused on the area of adductor muscle attachment to the os pubis. In this projection, individual layers of the adductors are visible, particularly m. adductor longus, m. adductor brevis and m. adductor magnus, extending toward their proximal attachment to the pubic bone, which allows clear visualization of their mutual anatomical relationships in the enthesis area. This projection is crucial for assessing the continuity of the adductor attachment tendon and for detecting enthesopathy, partial ruptures or other pathological changes in the pubic bone area.
