A small bursa between the adductor brevis muscle and the adjacent adductor longus or pectineus, reducing friction between the adductor muscle bellies during hip adduction. It lies in the medial compartment of the thigh.
Adductor brevis bursitis contributes to medial thigh and groin pain in athletes, particularly in sports involving repetitive hip adduction. It is clinically indistinguishable from adductor muscle strain without imaging. Ultrasound-guided aspiration and injection are diagnostic and therapeutic. The obturator nerve passes between the adductor brevis and adductor longus adjacent to this bursa.
Bursal inflammation in the medial thigh adductor compartment producing deep groin and medial thigh pain reproduced by resisted hip adduction, managed with activity modification and ultrasound-guided injection.
