    1. Zone I consists of the profundus tendon only and is bounded proximally by the insertion of the superficialis tendons and distally by the insertion of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon into the distal phalanx. Zone II is often referred to as "Bunnell's no man's land," indicating the frequent occurrence of restrictive adhesion bands around lacerations in this area. Proximal to zone II, the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendons lie superficial to the FDP tendons. Within zone II and at the level of the proximal third of the proximal phalanx, the FDS tendons split into 2 slips, collectively known as Camper chiasma. These slips then divide around the FDP tendon and reunite on the dorsal aspect of the FDP, inserting into the distal end of the middle phalanx. Zone III extends from the distal edge of the carpal ligament to the proximal edge of the A1 pulley, which is the entrance of the tendon sheath (see the A1 pulley in the image above). Within zone III, the lumbrical muscles originate from the FDP tendons. Zone IV includes the carpal tunnel and its contents (ie, the 9 digital flexors and the median nerve). | Zone V extends from the origin of the flexor tendons at their respective muscle bellies to the proximal edge of the carpal tunnel.
      1. zones
        1. Zone 1 is distal to the insertion of the FDS tendon. A laceration in zone 1, by definition, injures only the tendon of the FDP
          1. Subtopic 1
        2. zone 2, or “no man's land.: start from proximal aspect of the A1 pulley to FDS insertion,The distal palmar crease superficially marks the termination of zone 3 and the beginning of zone 2.
