Oh oh oh me! Pick me!

Ok, there are really 5 superficial flexor muscles in the forearm: pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum superficialis. All of these muscles have a common point of attachment in the elbow, the medial epicondyle of the humerus - When your palm is facing up, the bump on your elbow closest to your body. Your palmaris longus is pretty worthless, so let's forget about that for now. Your flexor digitorum is a flexor of your digits (fingers), and it flexes the proximal interphlangeal joint, the first joint in your fingers past your palm. The flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris (and palmaris longus) flex your wrist. The pronator teres pronates your forearm, that is rotating your hand from palm up to palm down. If Sheets completely tore the common tendon insertion, that is a huge deal. If it is just a partial tear, obviously less of a concern. The other big problem is that these muscles stabilize your Ulnar Collateral Ligament, which is the ligament fixed in TOMMY JOHN. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Flexor mass muscle? I'm a first year med student who just finished the anatmoy of the upper limb a few weeks ago, and I don't know what muscle that is. Can you link?

I don't post, I just read, but this is absolutely ridiculus. TH should be fired for putting this in his blog: http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/08/16/escobar-quot-most-exciting-quot-in-southern-league.aspx PERSONAL NOTE: After giving it careful consideration, I have decided to no longer interact in any way with posters in the "Comments" section of the Brewers Blog. I am adopting this policy because someone named Adam [last name deleted by BtA] complained to my bosses that I had no business calling out individual posters by name in a harsh fashion when they attacked my integrity or without having their facts correct called me out on certain issues (such as why I didn't know that Russell Branyan was injured when in fact he had been hurt the previous evening in batting practice when I wasn't even with the team). Apparently, I hurt poor Mr. [last name deleted by BtA]'s feelings. So, rather than worry about hurting the feelings of other over-sensitive posters, I've decided not to interact with any of them. That way, I don't have to watch my tongue when someone insults me or posts incorrect information, no matter how imbecilic it might be, in response to my blogs. So, for those who liked it when I interacted with posters, you can blame Mr. [last name deleted by BtA] (I believe his e-mail is [deleted by 1992casey]). For those who thought I was out of line with some of my responses, you can thank him. In a way, this complainer did me a big favor because it will save a lot of time and energy just to ignore the comments from posters on the Brewers Blog. I'll simply post my blogs and leave it at that. I won't even monitor the "Comments" secton. People can attack me all they want and I will not respond. Nor will I answer intelligent, thoughtful posters seeking further information. I decided not to pick and choose who I respond to. My bosses, who have been extremely supportive and very complimentary of the very successful Brewers Blog, have better things to do with their time than respond to people complaining about my comments, and this will spare them from having to do so. So, I'm sure they will appeciate this new policy as well. So, you folks have at it. Attack each other, attack me, whatever makes you happy. I'll stay out of the fray so no one such as Mr. [last name deleted by BtA] gets his feelings hurt again. We certainly wouldn't want that. -- TH
