	Distribution of the forces produced by motor unit activity in the human flexor digitorum profundus -- Kilbreath et al. ...
		In humans, the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), which is a multi-tendoned muscle, produces forces that flex the four distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers.
		During a functional grasp, the activity of single units in the FDP allows for a relatively selective control of forces at the tips of the index, middle and ring fingers, but this is limited for little-finger units.
		The FDP is organized topographically, with the index-finger portion located towards the radial side of the forearm, and the little-finger portion located on the ulnar side and posteriorly (Kilbreath and Gandevia, 1994).

		The tendons of the Flexor profundus digitorum, for example, pass through several pulleys formed by fibrous sheaths.
		The direction of the pull is different for each joint and varies for each joint according to the position of the bones.

		Long tendons extend from the flexor muscles through the wrist and attach to the small bones of your fingers and thumb.

		Therefore, transfer of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon to the flexor digitorum profundus tendon is recommended to eliminate the clenched fist deformity and relieve the maceration and disintegration of skin that is typically associated with this deformity.
		Transferring the flexor carpi ulnaris to the flexor digitorum profundus will only increase the flexion force and aggravate the deformity.
		Although the flexor tendons and volar plate can become interposed within the joint and interfere with closed reduction, this is a rare finding in patients with volar dislocations and is more likely to be associated with irreducible dorsal dislocations.

		The correct response is Option D. An undiagnosed compartment syndrome poses the greatest risk to the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus muscles in the forearm.
		The characteristic deformity in these patients does not develop until weeks or months later and manifests as flexion of the elbow and wrist, pronation of the forearm, adduction and flexion of the thumb, and extension at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint and flexion at the level of the interphalangeal joint with a claw-type deformity.
		Lateral epicondylitis is characterized by sharp pain at the epicondyle that is exacerbated with passive flexion of the wrist and fingers with the elbow in extension.
