Dense thickening of the antebrachial fascia along the anterior aspect of the carpal bones
Flexor Retinaculum
Forms an extremely strong fibrous ligament just distal to the palmar carpal ligament
Flexor Retinaculum
Forms the roof of the carpal tunnel
Flexor Retinaculum
Binds and secures long flexor tendons as they pass into the hand
Flexor Retinaculum
This nerve passes between the two heads of the pronator teres then between the muscle bellies of the FDS and the FDP.


Also goes under the _____.
