Image Choice

I believe the picture of the forearm on the page is awkward and not exemplary of the forearm especially. The person's arm does not have enough definition to exemplify the position of the forearm and the manner in which it is connected to the elbow and hand. A better picture could easily be taken and used.

Agreed. That's a whole arm. Anybody able to crop that? Or find a forearm lying around? ---Ransom (--208.25.0.2 22:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC))

Text-booky

For anyone who's looking: how text-booky should we get? Is this a question that's been asked elsewhere? I think it would certainly be a good learning exercise for me to expand this article (and the related ones i.e. on the vasculature etc.) to include much more indepth information, but that's all freely available on Gray's etc. already. Where to draw the line....

Someone tell me this is some sort of joke, and then remove it please...Stuart McN (talk) 01:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Questionable redirect

The link to the Forearm muscles at the bottom simply links back to this page. Is there a reason for this? I haven't tried the other link, for the Forearm flexors, but it probably does the same thing.JDZeff (talk) 01:51, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Forearm → Human forearm – This article is already about human forearm. It can be confusing because this text does not refer to animal´s forearm in general Hagar (talk) 11:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:PRECISION without evidence of usage of forearm for other topics that would override WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —  AjaxSmack  22:08, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. There's nothing to stop anyone from adding info about animal forearms to this article, if there's anything to say about them. Station1 (talk) 01:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:09, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Lateral compartment?

Other Wikipedia pages state there are 3 compartments to the forearm, but this page does not mention the lateral compartment. It would be nice if someone could explain why it is missing from this article. 140.228.217.193 (talk) 01:24, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Reasoning for Flexors being bigger

How do flexors work against gravity? don’t both flexors and extensors work against gravity? (note: not trying to start a debate, just trying to point maybe incorrect information) Joshsintrests (talk) 21:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
