Discovery of a variant in the region of the adductor magnus and the short head of the biceps femoris.
As a variant between the adductor magnus and the short head of the biceps femoris a small, triangular, flat muscle is described. Its fasciculi originate from both muscles and its long, thin tendon lying between the popliteal vessels and the sciatic nerve runs into the tendon of the adductor magnus inserting into the adductor tubercle.
