Medial epicondyle of humerus

Muscles attaching or palpated here

• Brachialis — Broad muscle under the biceps that is the strongest flexor of the elbow in any forearm position.
• Flexor carpi radialis — Superficial forearm muscle that runs from the medial epicondyle to the index and middle finger metacarpals, bending the wrist and tilting it towards the thumb.
• Flexor carpi ulnaris — Superficial muscle along the inner (little-finger) border of the forearm that bends the wrist and tilts it towards the little finger.
• Flexor digitorum superficialis — Large middle-layer forearm muscle that bends the four fingers at their middle joints and helps bend the knuckles and wrist.
• Palmaris longus — Small, slender forearm muscle with a long tendon that tightens the fascia of the palm and weakly bends the wrist; missing in some people.
• Pronator teres — Short, rounded muscle crossing the front of the upper forearm that turns the palm down (pronation) and helps bend the elbow.
• Wrist flexors — Group of forearm muscles on the palm side, most arising from the common flexor tendon at the medial epicondyle, that bend the wrist and fingers.
