B. Thigh abductors
C. Hip extensors
D. Lateral rotators
E. Thigh adductors

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Thigh abductors

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the group of muscles that might be impaired would be Thigh abductors. These are the muscles that are collectively found in the medial compartment of the thigh and are also known as hip adductors. Which make up the area where the fracture has been located by the X-ray.
