Abductor Digiti Minimi Origin
Pisiform, tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris, pisohamate ligament, ulnar border of flexor retinaculum
Abductor Digiti Minimi Insertion
ulnar/medial side of base of proximal phalanx of little finger, dorsal expansion, contributes to the bulk of the hypothenar eminence on the ulnar side of 5th MC
Abductor Digiti Minimi Action
abducts the MCP joint of little finger, assists in opposition, may assist in flexion of MCP joint of little finger
Abductor Digiti Minimi Nerve
Ulnar Nerve C7-8 T1
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis Origin
hook of hamate, ulnar border of flexor retinaculum
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis Insertion
base of proximal phalanx of little finger on palmar side
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis Action
flexes MCP joint of 5th digit, assists in opposition
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis Nerves
Ulnar Nerve C7-8 T1
Opponens Digiti Minimi Origin
hook of hamate, flexor retinaculum (ulnar border)
Opponens Digiti Minimi Insertion
palmar medial margin of fifth metacarpal
Opponens Digiti Minimi Action
brings digit into opposition with thumb, draws 5th MC anterior & rotates it laterally, deepens hollow of palm, cups the palm
Opponens Digiti Minimi Nerve
Ulnar Nerve C7-8 T1
Lumbricals Origin
1-radial & palmar aspect of FDP tendon to the 2nd finger, 2- radial & palmar aspect of FDP tendon to the 3rd finger, 3- ulnar & palmar aspect of FDP tendon to 3rd & radial & palmar aspect of the 4th finger, 4- ulnar & pallmar aspect of FDP tendon to 4th & radial & palmar aspect of the 5th finger
Lumbricals Insertion
base of the proximal phalanx on the palmar aspect of digits 2-5 (flexion of MCP joint), tendons of extensor digitorum communis (for extension of IP joint)
Lumbricals Action
flexion of MCP joint of digits 2-5, extension of proximal IP & DIP joint of digits 2-5, extend IP joints when MCP joint are extended
Lumbricals Nerve
1st&2nd- Median Nerve C6-8 T1. 3rd & 4th - Ulnar Nerve C7-8 T1
