Morphometric measurement of adductor longus and its clinical application: A cadaveric study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives A profound knowledge of the anatomical organization of adductor muscle compartment is necessary to understand their functions and to assist in the development of accurate clinical and biomechanical models This study aims at providing appropriate morphometric measurements of adductor longus muscleMaterials and Methods The present study was conducted on 50 lower limbs All limbs were fully dissected and measurements were taken with help of a steel tapeResults We found Adductor longus muscle in all the 50 dissected lower limbs 100 The range of length and width of proximal aponeurosis varied from 41 68cm and 08 25cm respectively The range of length of fleshy part muscular belly varied from 144 207cm The range of length and width of distal aponeurosis varied from 98 139cm and 21 48cm respectivelyConclusion Our results would aid educational anatomy dissections surgical interventions and help in management of many ailmentsKeywords Cadaver Adductor longus Morphometry
