Distal tear of adductor longus

Discussion:

This case represents a typical distal complete adductor longus tear on right side. The history is typical as well and is seen in athletes who do strenous activity without sport specific pre conditioning.

The adductor longus is one of the most commonly injured muscles in the thigh. It originates from the pubic symphysis and has a large insertion into the femoral shaft. On axial images, it is recognized as being the "medial wall" of the subsartorial canal which contains the superficial femoral artery and vein.
