Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons They run down the forearm and within the carpal tunnel. The four tendons glide in sheaths along the hand and fingers and insert into the fingertip bone. These tendons run closer to the bone compared to the rest of the flexors in the hand and fingers.
Flexor carpi ulnaris is a superficial flexor muscle of the forearm that flexes and adducts the hand. It is the most powerful wrist flexor. The flexor carpi ulnaris originates from two separate heads connected by a tendinous arch.
Tendons of flexor digitorum sperficialis (FDS) and profundus (FDP) (with flexor policis longus) are located deeper respectively 1,2. Tendons of FDS and FDP are enclosed in a common synovial sheath, the ulnar bursa which is extended from wrist proximally to hand distally; and continues to synovial bursa of fifth finger.
