The Anatomy of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Relevant to Tendon Transfers

From the Harbor U.C.L.A. Medical Center, Torrance, California, U.S.A

Correspondence: Anne Hollister M.D., Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harbor UCLA Medical Centre, 1000 Carson Street, Torrance, CA 90509, U.S.A.

The flexor digitorum superficialis is a digastric muscle with a proximal muscle belly from which the tendons to the index, ring and little fingers arise. These tendons are not independent and are not good motors for non-synergistic transfers. Such as for finger extension. The muscle and tendon to the middle finger arise separately and are therefore more suitable for non-synergistic transfers.
