ANTEBRACHIAL FASCIA
Deep fascia surrounding the compartments of the forearm
Sends intermuscular septa into the forearm to divide the forearm
muscles into an anterior fascial compartment and aposterior
fascial compartment
Each fascial compartment will have its own set of muscles,
which has similar functions and innervations.

INTERMEDIATE LAYER
flexes the middle phalanges of the medial four fingers (at the
proximal interphalangeal joints) and flexes the proximal phalanges
at the metacarpophalangeal joints and wrist joints
.Note:
All muscles at this layer (except for the ulnar half of the FDP) is
supplied by the branch of the median nerve called the
anteriorinterosseus nerve (AIN), which branches out of the median
nerve and goes deeper after passing the two heads of pronator
teres.
1. FLEXOR DIGITORUM PROFUNDUS
Profundus = deep
When it nears the wrist joint, it also gives rise to four tendons, which
also insert into the medial four digits.

POSTERIOR MUSCLES OF THE ARM
MUSCLES THAT EXTEND AND ABDUCT/ADDUCT
THE ARM
1. EXTENSOR DIGITORUM
Superficial muscle
.Gives rise to four tendons as it approaches the wrist joint,
similar to its counterparts in the anterior compartment,
which then insert into the medial four digits
Action: extends the medial four fingers (principal extensor)
2. EXTENSOR DIGITI MINIMI
Superficial muscle
Partially separates from the extensor digitorum, inserting intothe
5th digit (little finger)
Action: extends the 5th digit, aiding in the extension of the
medial four fingers
3. EXTENSOR INDICIS
Deep muscle
More deeply located than the extensor
o digitorum
Inserts into the 2nd digit (index finger)
Action: extends the 2nd digit
Allows the

index finger to extend independently from other
digits
