Extensor digitorum tendons. Extensor indicis tendon. Extension of the medial four digits Fourth compartment syndrome: 5 Extensor digiti minimi tendon: Positioned directly over the distal radioulnar joint. Extensor digiti minimi usually has double tendon [2] in the fifth compartment upon inserting onto the little finger Vaughn-Jackson syndrome: 6
Extensor digitorum; of phalanges, at all joints Posterior compartment of the forearm. Extensor digitorum; Extensor digiti minimi (little finger only) Extensor indicis (index finger only) of phalanges, at interphalangeal joints [4] Lumbricals of the hand; Dorsal interossei of the hand; Palmar interossei; of thumb [5] Extensor pollicis brevis ...
The extrinsic extensor muscles of the hand are located in the back of the forearm and have long tendons connecting them to bones in the hand, where they exert their action. Extrinsic denotes their location outside the hand. Extensor denotes their action which is to extend, or open flat, joints in the hand.
Lateral elbow pain can be caused by various pathologies of the common extensor tendon. [3] Overuse injuries can lead to inflammation. [4] [5] Tennis elbow is a common issue with the common extensor tendon. [6] [4] [7]
The extensor tendons are connected to the second by a thin transverse band, known as the juncturae tendinum; they serve to maintain the central alignment of the extensor tendons over the metacarpal head, [5] thus increasing the available leverage. Injuries (such as by an external flexion force during active extension) may allow the tendon to ...
The capsule, extensor tendon, and skin are very thin and lax dorsally, allowing for both phalanx bones to flex more than 100° until the base of the middle phalanx makes contact with the condylar notch of the proximal phalanx. [1] At the level of the PIP joint the extensor mechanism splits into three bands.
Juncturae tendinum are narrow bands of connective tissues that extend between the tendons of the extensor digitorum communis and the extensor digiti minimi. [1] [2] It is classified into three distinct types (Type 1, 2 and 3) depending on morphology. [3] Type 1: This is a thin and filamentous juncturae tendinum. Its shape can either be square ...
De Quervain's syndrome is a medical condition when the synovial sheath surrounding tendons in the first extensor tendon compartment becomes inflamed, so called tenosynovitis. [12] The tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis run narrower due to the thickening of the synovial sheath, which causes pain when ...
