Common flexor tendon, and where does it originate?
The common flexor tendon refers to the common origin for the flexor muscles of the forearm including the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor digitorum superficialis, and flexor carpi ulnaris muscles. It originates at the medial epicondyle, which is the bony protuberance at the medial aspect of the distal humerus proximal to the trochlea.
