Q

Extensor digiti minimi [I]

A

Joins ED tendon of Digit V

18
Q

Extensor digiti minimi [A]

A

Extension of MCP, PIP, and DIP joints of digit V, minorly assists in hand an forearm extension

19
Q

Extensor carpi ulnaris [O]

A

Lateral epicondyle and posterior border of the Ulna

20
Q

Extensor carpi ulnaris [I]

A

Base of the fifth metacarpal

21
Q

Extensor carpi ulnaris [A]

A

Extends and adducts the hand; assists in extension of the forearm

22
Q

Anconeus [O]

A

Posterior lateral epicondyle

23
Q

Anconeus [I]

A

lateral side of the proximal Ulna; including Olecranon process

24
Q

Anconeus [A]

A

Assists triceps in extending the forearm, stabalizes the elbow joint; abducts the ulna during pronation

25
Q

Supinator [O]

A

Lateral epicondyle, radial collateral ligament of the elbow, and lateral side of the proximal Ulna

26
Q

Supinator [I]

A

Spirals around proximal radius to insert on the posterior, lateral and anterior sides of radius

27
Q

Supinator [A]

A

Supinates the forearm by swiveling radius, less powerful supinator than biceps brachii, unless fully extended.

28
Q

Outcropping (interosseous) muscles

A

Abductor pollicis longus, Extensor pollicis brevis, Extensor pollicis longus, Extensor indicis

29
Q

Outcropping (interosseous) muscles [O]

A

Posterior side of the interosseous membrane, and adjacent parts of the ulna and radius

30
Q

Abductor pollicis longus [I]

A

Base of the metacarpal 1, laterally

31
Q

Abductor pollicis longus [A]

A

Abducts and extends the 1st carpometacarpal joint and abducts the hand

32
Q

Extensor pollicis brevis [I]

A

Base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb

33
Q

Extensor pollicis brevis [A]

A

Extends CM and MCP joints of the thumb and abducts the hand

34
Q

Extensor pollicis longus [I]

A

Base of the distal phalanx of the thumb

35
Q

Extensor pollicis longus [A]

A

Extends the CM, MCP, and IP joint of the thumb. Assists in extending the hand

36
Q

Extensor indicis [I]

A

Joins ED tendon to digit II

37
Q

Extensor indicis [A]

A

Extends, MCP, PIP, and DIP joints of digit II. Slightly assists in extending the hand

38
Q

Anatomical Snuffbox

A

Area between the Extensor pollicis longus tendon and the Extensor pollicis brevis tendon
*Clinical: fractured Scaphoid is tender here.

39
Q

Lateral epicondylitis

A

(Elbow tendinitis) Due to excessive use of the superficial extensor muscles of the forearm.

  • Inflammation of the periosteum of the lateral epicondyle and the origin of the superficial extensor mm.
  • Pain conveyed by the superficial branch of the radial n. - radiates inferiorly down posterior forearm.
40
Q

Mallet/ Baseball finger (“Jammed” finger)

A

Due to avulsion of the insertion of the extensor tendon on the distal phalanx; resulting from forceful flexion of the DIP during extension.
*Presentation: extension of all joints except the DIP which remains flexed.

41
Q

Synovial cyst of the wrist

A

Cysts of mucinous fluid called “ganglion” non-tender swellings that appear on dorsal wrist – communicates with synovial sheaths
