Sonographic Appearance of the Ischiocondylar Origin of the Adductor Magnus

The adductor magnus ischiocondylar origin (AM‐IO) tendon has often been described as a third proximal hamstring tendon due to its common origin on the ischial tuberosity as well as similar function. Prior studies have described the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the AM‐IO; however, it...

Description
Summary:The adductor magnus ischiocondylar origin (AM‐IO) tendon has often been described as a third proximal hamstring tendon due to its common origin on the ischial tuberosity as well as similar function. Prior studies have described the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the AM‐IO; however, its appearance on ultrasound has not been well‐detailed. The purpose of our study is to describe the sonographic appearance of the AM‐IO and provide a structured scanning protocol for complete evaluation of the tendon.
