5 . Anterior interosseous fascia (partially resected)
6 . Lumbrical muscle III
7 . Lumbrical muscle IV
8 . Lumbrical muscle I
9 . Flexor pollicis longus muscle (tendon of insertion)
10 . Dorsal interosseous muscle I
11 . Abductor pollicis brevis muscle (insertion)
12 . Flexor pollicis brevis muscle (area of insertion of superficial head)
