DETERMINATION OF THE LEVELS OF ORIGIN AND POINT OF PENETRATION OF THE NERVES THAT SUPPLY THE FLEXOR DIGITORUM SUPERFICIALIS MUSCLE

Knowing the distribution of the Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle nerve's branches, its origin levels and points of penetration, it makes the treatment of these lesions easier, mainly in cases of surgery where without the adequate anatomic knowledge the nerve's branches could be even m...
