D013709. [edit on Wikidata] A tendon transfer is a surgical process in which the insertion of a tendon is moved, but the origin remains in the same location. Tendon transfer involves redistribution of muscle power, not recreation. Tendons are transferred at the distal attachment from lesser to more important functions so that the overall ...
FMA. 38866. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] MRI of the elbow (T1 weighted) showing an unimpaired radial collateral ligament and extensor tendon. The radial collateral ligament (RCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), or external lateral ligament[Explain 1] is a ligament in the elbow on the side of the radius.
81.85. [edit on Wikidata] Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction, colloquially known as Tommy John surgery, is a surgical graft procedure where the ulnar collateral ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with either a tendon from elsewhere in the patient's body, or with one from a deceased donor. The procedure is common among collegiate and ...
De Quervain syndrome occurs when two tendons that control movement of the thumb become constricted by their tendon sheath in the wrist. [3][5][6] This results in pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist. [3] Radial abduction of the thumb is painful. [6] On some occasions, there is uneven movement or triggering of the thumb with radial ...
The tip of the finger bends downwards while the other fingers stay straight. A mallet finger, also known as hammer finger or PLF finger or Hannan finger, is an extensor tendon injury at the farthest away finger joint. [2] This results in the inability to extend the finger tip without pushing it. [3] There is generally pain and bruising at the ...
Extensor tendon compartments of the wrist are anatomical tunnels on the back of the wrist that contain tendons of muscles that extend (as opposed to flex) the wrist and the digits (fingers and thumb). The extensor tendons are held in place by the extensor retinaculum. As the tendons travel over the posterior (back) aspect of the wrist they are ...
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: The tendon of extensor carpi radialis brevis is usually the most major tendon to which the other tendons merge. [2]
The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2][3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, and extensor digiti minimi) are innervated ...
