Abstract

The relative position of the flexor tendons and the median nerve is not adequately described in the literature. A study of the wrist showed a comparatively constant relation of the tendon of the palmaris longus to the median nerve and tendon of the flexor profundus indicis.

The anatomy of the tendons of the wrist and of the median nerve, as commonly observed, and also the surgically important variations of the tendons are presented.
