When surgery is done to divide the flexor retinaculum, by far the more common procedure, scar tissue will eventually fill the gap left by surgery.
32.
The intent is that this will lengthen the flexor retinaculum enough to accommodate inflamed or damaged tendons and reduce the effects of compression on the median nerve.
33.
It is held under tension by a small structure called the retinaculum ( or tenaculum ) and when released, snaps against the substrate, flinging the springtail into the air.
34.
On the radial side of the retinaculum is the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis, which lies in the groove on the greater multangular between the attachments of the ligament to the bone.
35.
The tendon then extends obliquely forward across the lateral side of the calcaneus, below the trochlear process, and the tendon of the fibularis brevis, and under cover of the inferior fibular retinaculum.
36.
In the butterflies ( except the male of one species of hesperiid ) and in the Bombycoidea ( except the Sphingidae ), there is no arrangement of frenulum and retinaculum to couple the wings.
37.
It ends in a slender, flattened tendon, which passes over the upper part of the flexor retinaculum and inserts onto the central part of the flexor retinaculum and lower part of the palmar aponeurosis.

39.
The tendons of the palmaris longus and flexor carpi ulnaris are partly attached to the surface of the retinaculum; below, the short muscles of the thumb and little finger originate from the flexor retinaculum.
