An accessory flexor digitorum profundus indicis. 1983

N Z Winkelman

An accessory flexor digitorum profundus indicis was found during a recent hand exploration. It was a separate muscle-tendon unit lying ulnar to the main flexor digitorum profundus indicis and joined the latter at the level of the distal palmar crease. Its insertion was by both tendon and a small muscle belly.
