It takes its origin from the front of transverse carpal ligament, extending into the tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium with an occasional contribution from the tendon of abductor pollicis longus.
Insertion[3][edit | edit source]
The muscle has a short tendon which attaches to the radial side of the base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb.
Nerve[4][edit | edit source]
Median nerve C8, T1.
Artery[4][edit | edit source]
Princeps pollicis artery.
Function[5][edit | edit source]
It acts to abduct the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.
Clinical relevance[6][edit | edit source]

- Median and ulnar nerve lesion.
- Syringomyelia
- Motor neurone disease
- Peripheral neuropathy
