*The '''flexor retinaculum''' is the carpal fascia on the palmar aspect and lies between the accessory carpal bone and the medial aspect of the carpus. This with the joint capsule and medial surface of the accesory carpal bone makes up the '''carpal canal'''. It houses just the deep digital flexor tendon in the dog.
