(11-13,15) Interestingly, all of the studies agree about the footprint of the two distal insertions: the tendon of the long head lies in a more proximal, lateral position and dives deep to a more posterior location on the radial tuberosity to function as the primary supinator. Meanwhile, the tendon of the short head lies more distal, anterior, and slightly ulnar, functioning primarily as a forearm flexor.
