The superficial volar compartment of the forearm includes four muscles: pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi ulnaris. These muscles share a common flexor origin at the medial epicondyle, but they may also contribute to pain at their wrist insertions, such as with FCR or FCU tendinopathy. This post is the first in our series on wrist and hand tendinopathies, where we will connect anatomy with pathology, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based management. At VHSF
