Antebrachial fascia

Muscles ยท part of Fasciae of upper limb

The antebrachial fascia (antibrachial fascia or deep fascia of forearm) continuous above with the brachial fascia (deep fascia of the arm), is a dense, membranous investment, which forms a general sheath for the muscles in this region; it is attached, behind, to the olecranon and dorsal border of the ulna, and gives off from its deep surface numerous intermuscular septa, which enclose each muscle separately. Over the flexor muscles tendons as they approach the wrist it is especially thickened, and forms the volar carpal ligament. This is continuous with the transverse carpal ligament, and forms a sheath for the tendon of the palmaris longus which passes over the transverse carpal ligament to (Wikipedia)
