The extensor digitorum muscle (also known as extensor digitorum communis) [2] is a muscle of the posterior forearm present in humans and other animals. It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of the radial nerve. [3]
Extensor digitorum extensor expansion of 2nd–5th middle, distal phalanges [7] posterior interosseus: posterior interosseus: extends fingers, wrist FDS, FDP: s125p451: Extensor digiti minimi extensor expansion, base of proximal phalanx, little finger extends little finger at all joints FDMB: Extensor carpi ulnaris common extensor tendon, ulna
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 ...
The tendons to the second, third, and fourth toes are each joined, opposite the metatarsophalangeal articulations, on the lateral side by a tendon of the extensor digitorum brevis. The tendons are inserted in the following manner: each receives a fibrous expansion from the interossei and lumbricals, and then spreads out into a broad aponeurosis ...
Extensor compartments of wrist (back of hand) The fingers have two long flexors, located on the underside of the forearm. They insert by tendons to the phalanges of the fingers. The deep flexor attaches to the distal phalanx, and the superficial flexor attaches to the middle phalanx. The flexors allow for the actual bending of the fingers.
Supernumerary tendons can refer to the additional tendons of normal structures or tendons of rare anatomical variants such as the extensor medii proprius or the extensor digitorum brevis manus. The increased pressure in the synovial sheath is known to directly or indirectly compress the posterior interosseous nerve of radial nerve . [ 14 ]
The extensor pollicis brevis originates on the ulna distal to the abductor pollicis longus, from the interosseus membrane, and from the dorsal side of the radius. Passing through the first tendon compartment together with the abductor pollicis longus, it is attached to the base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb.
The common extensor tendon serves as the upper attachment (in part) for the superficial muscles that are located on the posterior aspect of the forearm: Extensor carpi radialis brevis; Extensor digitorum; Extensor digiti minimi; Extensor carpi ulnaris [1] [2]
