Anatomy - Forearm, Wrist, & Hand - Extensors Flashcards
Brachioradialis - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral supracondylar ridge
Brachioradialis - Distal Attachment(s)
Distal lateral radius (DOESN NOT cross wrist)
Brachioradialis - Innervation
Radial nerve C5, C6, C7
Brachioradialis - Action
Flexes forearm (DOES NOT AFFECT WRIST), pronate to midline, & supinate to midline
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral supracondylar ridge
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus - Distal Attachment(s)
Dorsal base of 2nd MC
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus - Innervation
Radial nerve C6, C7
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus - Action
Extends wrist & radially deviates
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus - Dorsal Compartment
2nd
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral epicondyle (deep to ECRL & ED)
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis - Distal Attachment(s)
Dorsal base of 3rd MC
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis - Innervation
Deep branch radial nerve C7, C8
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis - Action
Extends wrist & supports during grasping
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis - Dorsal Comparment
2nd
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral epicondyle & posterior border of ulna
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris - Distal Attachment(s)
Base of 5th MC (dorsolateral)
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris - Innervation
Deep branch radial nerve C7, C8
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris - Action
Extend wrist & ulnarly deviate (when forearm prone –> tendon is more lateral so it’s a better deviator & less of a wrist extensor)
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris - Dorsal Compartment
6th
Extensor Digitorum - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral epicondyle (between ECRB & ECU)
Extensor Digitorum - Distal Attachment(s)
Sagittal bands (around MCPs) of extensor hood & continues on through central slip; terminate at dorsal aspect of base of MPs 2-5
Extensor Digitorum - Innervation
Deep branch radial nerve C7, C8
Extensor Digitorum - Action
Extends MCPs of 2-5 & PIPs when MCPs in slight flexion; assist wrist extension
Extensor Digitorum - Dorsal Compartment
4th
Juncturae Tendinae
Interconnecting bands between ED tendons just proximal to insertion at MCP joints. Restricts independent finger extension.
Extensor Digiti Minimi - Proximal Attachment(s)
Lateral epicondyle
Extensor Digiti Minimi - Distal Attachment(s)
Extensor hood of 5th digit (medial to ED)
