Flexor Pollicis Longus – Texting Thumb

The flexor pollicis longus (FPL) is the only muscle in the human body that flexes the distal phalanx of the thumb at the interphalangeal (IP) joint. It runs from the anterior surface of the radius to the distal phalanx of the thumb, passes through the carpal tunnel alongside nine tendons and the median nerve, and is a key muscle involved in texting thumb and carpal tunnel syndrome.
