Ischiocondylar part of adductor magnus

The ischiocondylar part of the adductor magnus (harmstring part) refers to the portion of the adductor magnus muscle that originates from the ischial tuberosity and inserts onto the adductor tubercle of the femur. This part of the muscle is often considered functionally similar to the hamstring muscles due to its common origin and its role in hip extension. It is sometimes referred to as the "hamstring part" of the adductor magnus.

The ischiocondylar (hamstring) part of adductor magnus is innervated by the sciatic nerve whereas the adductor part is innervated by the obturator nerve.

Origin: Ischial tuberosity
