Abstract
This is the first presentation in the literature of a radial tendon flexor pulley in the distal forearm adjacent to the flexor carpi radialis. The clinical significance is that in performing wrist tendon arthroplasty, this structure and, in close proximity, the sensory branch of the median nerve may be encountered. Whether cutting the pulley of the flexor carpi radialis is clinically significant in changing wrist biomechanics is unknown. Clin. Anat. 14:246β247, 2001. Β© 2001 WileyβLiss, Inc.

The authors, however, have nowhere mentioned in the article the relationshi
