In its most common form it is a small, fusiform muscle that functions as a vestigial flexor of the wrist and originates at the medial epicondyle as part of the common flexor tendon and inserts at the palmar aponeurosis volar to the flexor retinaculum [1]. It receives its vascular supply from branches of the ulnar and brachial arteries and is innervated by the median nerve [1]. …
