Origin: common forearm flexor origin from the medial epicondyle of the Humerus and the deep forearm fascia
Insertion: Volar base of the Index Metacarpal and the Middle Metacarpal
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
Nerve: Median Nerve
Artery: Muscular Branches of Radial Artery
