ABSTRACT

Adductor brevis is an important member of the adductor family occupying the medial compartment of the thigh executing the function of adduction and medial rotation. Deviations from normal anatomy are unusual and rarely reported. A survey of anatomical archives revealed occasional mention of additional bellies of adductor brevis muscle. The present study reports a double belly of adductor brevis (AB) muscle both on right and left side found during a cadaveric dissection for medical students in Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab. This case report attempts to present the clinical applications of multiple bellies of this important adductor muscle of the thigh. It is feasible to categorize these muscular variations upon specialized radiological procedures such as CT and MRI scans only if the radiologist possesses satisfactory understanding of variant anatomy of this region. It is thereafter inferred that upon recognition these muscles present a fair chance of use in reconstructions.
Key Words: Adductor brevis, Reconstructions, Variations.
