The flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) is a muscle of the forearm that flexes and adducts at the wrist joint. The flexor carpi ulnaris has two heads; a humeral head and ulnar head. The humeral head originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus via the common flexor tendon.

Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (FCU) is the most medial flexor muscle in the superficial compartment of the forearm. It can adduct and flex the wrist at the same time; acts in tandem with flexor carpi radialis to flex the wrist and with the extensor carpi ulnaris to adduct the wrist.
