"The muscle was first described by the French M. Fano in 1851 under the name ‘Radiocarpien’. The name flexor carpi radialis brevis vel profundus was given to the muscle by the British surgeon, anatomist and physiologist John Wood in 1867 1,2,5. The French physician and anatomist Anatole-Félix le Double described several cases of the muscle in 1897 and called it ‘Court Radial anterieur’ 6."
