Flexor tendon insertions

  • The long flexor tendons of the fingers arise from the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) forearm muscles
  • These tendons enter the hand via the carpal tunnel, enclosed in a common … sheath.
  • Within the hand, the tendons fan out and enter their respective … flexor sheaths. These sheaths are strong ligamentous tunnels, each associated with a digit.
  • At the base of the proximal phalanx, the FDS tendon splits into two – with the FDP tendon passing between them. The split FDS tendons attach to the base of the middle phalanx, whilst the FDP tendon attaches to the base of the distal phalanx

    • Oblique head arises from the capitate bone and palmar bases of metacarpal bones 2 and 3.
    • From their origins, the muscle heads run laterally, converging into a single muscle belly that inserts onto the medial base of proximal phalanx 1.
