"The adductor minimus is considered to be the superior most division of adductor magnus muscle and is variable in its anatomy, being either completely separate, partially or completely fused to the upper border of adductor magnus 1. The first perforating branch of the profunda femoris artery delineates the inferior border of adductor minimus from the superior border of adductor magnus."
