In human anatomy the abductor digiti minimi (abductor minimi digiti abductor digiti quinti ADM) is a skeletal muscle situated on the ulnar border of the palm of the hand. It forms the ulnar border of the palm and its spindle-like shape defines the hypothenar eminence of the palm together with the skin connective tissue and fat surrounding it. Its main function is to pull the little finger away from the other fingers (i.e. abduction).
