Common flexor tendon

The common flexor tendon is a tendon that attaches to the medial epicondyle of the humerus (lower part of the bone of the upper arm that is near the elbow joint).

It serves as the upper attachment point for the superficial muscles of the front of the forearm:

  • Pronator teres
  • Flexor carpi radialis
  • Palmaris longus
  • Flexor digitorum superficialis
  • Flexor carpi ulnaris
