Surface flexor of the fingers

The superficial flexor muscle of the fingers is one of the muscles of the anterior superficial layer of the forearm. It originates with two heads. The humeral head originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and from the medial collateral ligament of the elbow joint; the ulnar head originates from the medial margin of the coronoid process of the ulna, the radial head from the anterior aspect of the radium (oblique line)

Deep flexor of fingers

The deep flexor muscle of the fingers is located deep in the antero-lateral region of the forearm. It originates from the proximal two thirds of the anterior ulna face, from the antibrachial fascia, from the medial part of the interosseous membrane and from the medial margin of the radium. In the middle of the forearm the belly is divided into 4 bundles which are inserted with the same number of tendons at the bases of the distal phalanges of the 2nd-5th finger

Carpal ulnar extensor

The extensor carpus ulnar muscle is a superficial muscle of the posterior region of the forearm, placed medially in relation to the extensor muscle proper to the little finger. It has a common origin with this muscle and with the common extensor finger muscle (posterior epicondyle of the humerus and antibrachial fascia)

Long thumb extender

The extensor thumb muscle is a deep muscle in the posterior region of the forearm. Located in a medial position with respect to the long abductor muscle of the thumb, it originates from the middle third of the dorsal face of the ulna and from the interosseous membrane. With his insertion tendon he crosses the 3rd dorsal carpal ligament duct and inserts himself at the base of the distal phalanx of the thumb
