Medical on Instagram: "The Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) is an essential muscle located in the deep anterior compartment of the forearm. It serves as a primary flexor of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of the second to fifth fingers. This unique function allows for fine motor control and grip strength, enabling actions such as grasping small objects or typing. The FDP lies beneath the flexor digitorum superficialis, distinguishing it as a deeper and more distal flexor in the functiona

Dr. Pradeep Pawar on Instagram: "Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) – The true flexor of the fingers 💪 🔹 Origin: Upper ¾ of ulna & interosseous membrane 🔹 Insertion: Base of distal phalanges 🔹 Action: Flexes distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints 🔹 Nerve supply: – Lateral half → Anterior interosseous nerve (Median) – Medial half → Ulnar nerve 🔹 Key point: Only muscle causing flexion at the DIP joint! . . . . #anatomy #pwmeded #flexordigitorumprofundus #mbbsnotes #medicaleducation #anatomyfacts
