Adductor brevis originates from the body and inferior ramus of the pubis (Standring 2016). It has an aponeurotic insertion into the femur from the lesser trochanter to the linea aspera, and onto the upper aspect of the linea aspera behind pectineus (Standring 2016).
Arthroscopic hip preservation surgery
Published in K. Mohan Iyer, Hip Preservation Techniques, 2019
External snapping is produced due to friction between the greater trochanter and the thickened posterior portion of the iliotibial band or the thickened anterior fibers of the gluteus maximus during flexion or extension. It may or may not be painful. The primary management relies on physiotherapy and stretching. Release of the structures can be performed as an open or arthroscopic procedure to diminish tension in the iliotibial band. The techniques described also include half-releasing the gluteal tendon at its femoral insertion, on the linea aspera, to release the tension.

The limb is palpated and the patella, patellar tendon, lateral femoral condyle and femoral shaft are identified and marked (Figure 3b). An 8 cm lateral incision is placed over the posterior (rostral) border of the thigh, with the center of the incision located 9 cm proximal to the lateral condyle, and between the anterior and posterior compartments. After incising through the skin with a scalpel, the space between the anterior and posterior compartments is palpated and the fascia is incised through this space using a Bovie (Figure 3c). Dissection to the femur is carried out along the facial plane of the extensor compartment. Great care should be taken to identify the lateral intermuscular septum and proceed with dissection posterior to this septum. If excessive bleeding is encountered, or there is difficulty in dissecting through an areolar plane to expose the femur then the location of the approach should be reassessed. Upon entering the correct plane, the femur will be visible and blunt dissection can be used to expose the lateral and anterior portions of the shaft (Figure 3d). The muscle attachments along the linea aspera (posterior) are removed using a Bovie to minimize bleeding. Weitlaner retractors can be used between the muscle compartments to facilitate exposure, and Hohmann retractors can be placed around the femoral shaft. Once a sufficient length of femoral diaphysis is exposed the retractors are removed and the lateral thigh incision is packed with saline soaked gauze.
