Adductor magnus is innervated by which of the following?

Femoral nerve 14%

Obturator nerve 79%

Peroneal nerve 1%

Saphenous nerve 2%

Lumbar plexus (L2-L4) 3%

The medial compartment receives motor innervation from the obturator

nerve and arterial supply from the profunda femoris and obturator artery.

The adductor muscles adduct the thigh (as the name suggests). They
also play a role in both medial and lateral rotation of the femur.
