The flexor retinaculum is a fibrous connective tissue band that forms the anterior roof of the carpal tunnel (see Image. Flexor Retinaculum of the Wrist). Many experts consider the flexor retinaculum synonymous with the transverse carpal and annular ligaments. The flexor retinaculum protects 9 forearm flexor tendons and the median nerve as they pass through the carpal tunnel.[1]
