SUMMARY

1. FLEXOR DIGITORUM SUPERFICIALIS - large muscle of the intermediate layer which arises from the common flexor origin, medial ligamentous complex of elbow, sublime tubercle & anterior oblique line of radius.

2. Distally it gives rise to 4 tendons which pass into the hand deep to the flexor retinaculum.

3. Within each finger the tendons form 2 slips which pass around the profundus tendon and then partly reunite before attaching to the sides of the middle phalanx.

4. Supplied by the median nerve.

5. Flexes the wrist => MCPJ => PIPJ.
