    The first compartment is the most frequently affected site, called De Quervain's disease (syndrome or tenosynovitis). The other two most commonly injured are the sixth (extensor carpi ulnaris) and second (intersection syndrome) compartments. The first compartment is the site where entrapment tendinitis, better known as De Quervain's disease ...

    The extensor indicis proprius usually runs and inserts onto the ulnar side of the extensor digitorum communis of the index finger. [4] The fifth compartment is occupied by the extensor digiti minimi, the extensor of the little finger. The extensor carpi ulnaris passes through the sixth compartment to insert to the base of the fifth metacarpal bone.

    The extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) has the most proximal origin of the extrinsic hand extensors. It originates just distal to the brachioradialis at the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus, the lateral intermuscular septum, and by a few fibers at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. [1]

    The extensor retinaculum (dorsal carpal ligament, or posterior annular ligament) is a thickened portion of the antebrachial fascia that holds the tendons of the extensor muscles in place. [1] It is located on the back of the forearm , just proximal to the hand . [ 2 ]

    The mobile wad (or mobile wad of Henry) is a group of the following three muscles found in the lateral compartment of the forearm: [1] brachioradialis; extensor carpi radialis brevis; extensor carpi radialis longus; It is also sometimes known as the "wad of three", [2] "lateral compartment", [3] or "radial group" [4] of the forearm.

  8. Extensor digiti minimi muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digiti_minimi_muscle

    The extensor digiti minimi (extensor digiti quinti proprius) is a slender muscle of the forearm, placed on the ulnar side of the extensor digitorum communis, with which it is generally connected. It arises from the common extensor tendon by a thin tendinous slip and frequently from the intermuscular septa between it and the adjacent muscles.

  9. Brachioradialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis

    Of the muscles that receive innervation from the radial nerve, it is one of only four that receive input directly from the radial nerve. The other three are the triceps, anconeus, and extensor carpi radialis longus. (All other posterior compartment muscles that receive radial innervation are supplied by the deep branch of the radial nerve.) [6]
