Q

what is an extensor hood?

A

long and short extensor tendons are held in place by two fibrous sheaths. these sheaths are continuous with each other and form a strong fibrous structure called the extensor hoods the more proximal part, called the extensor sling, is formed from fibers which encircle the digit to attach to a thickening in the plantar metatarsophalangeal ligament called the plantar plate the distal part of the extensor hood, called teh extenosr wing, is formed mostly from expansions of the tendons of the lumbrical muscles

Q

what is the function of the EDL?

A
  • acting alone, it tightens the sling and loosens the wing - when the muscle contracts the plantar plate is pulled against the metatarsal head resulting in extension (or hyperextension) of the metatarsophalangeal joints - it CANNOT extend the interphalangeal joints - wing portion of the extensor hood is loose and the interphalangeal joints cannot be extended

Q

what is the function of the lumbrical muscles?

A
  • on contraction, they tighten the wing and loosen the sling allowing the more proximal parts of the extensor expansion to permit flexion at the metatarsophalangeal jt while holding more distal joints in extension - it should be noted that the FDL, because of its relationship with the lumbricals, does contribute to the function of the extensor hood
