Extensor digiti minimi (EDM)
Extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL)
Extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB)
Extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU)
Extensor retinaculum (not a muscle)
29
Q

What is the common proximal attachment of most of these muscles?

A

Common extensor origin (just distal to the lateral epicondyle)

30
Q

Which muscles have a proximal attachment along the ulna rather than the common extensor tendon?

A 
Abductor pollicis longus (APL)
Extensor pollicis longus (EPL)
Extensor pollicis brevis (EPB)
Extensor indicis (EI)
31
Q

Describe the attachment of brachioradialis.

A

Distal lateral side of the humerus

To the lateral part of the styloid process of the radius

32
Q

Name all the intrinsic muscles of the hand.

A

Thenar: Abductor pollicis brevis (APB), Flexor pollicis brevis (FPB), Opponens pollicis (OP)
Hypothenar:Abductor digiti minimi (ADM), Flexor digiti minimi (FDM), Opponens digiti minimi (ODM)
Adductor: Adductor pollicis (AP)
-Interossei and Lumbricals: Palmar interossei+Dorsal interossei
-Lumbricals

33
Q

What movements are the lumbricals responsible for?

A

Flexion of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP)

Extension of the interphalangeal joints (IPJs)

34
Q

What movements are the palmar and dorsal interossei responsible for?

A

PAD & DAB
Palmar = ADduction of the fingers
Dorsal = ABduction of the fingers

35
Q 
Which muscles are responsible for the following thumb movements:
- abduction
-adduction
extension
flexion
opposition
A

Abduction: Abductor pollicis longus (APL), Abductor pollicis brevis (APB)
Adduction: Adductor pollicis (AP), First dorsal interosseus
Extension: Extensor pollicis longus (EPL), Extensor pollicis brevis (EPB), Abductor pollicis longus (APL)
Flexion: Flexor pollicis longus (FPL), Flexor pollicis brevis (FPB)
Opposition: Opponens pollicis

36
Q

Why is adductor pollicis in a different compartment to the other pollicis muscles?

A

It is innervated by the ulnar nerve whereas the thenar muscles are all innervated by the median nerve

37
Q

How many lumbricals, dorsal interossei and palmar interossei are there?

A

Lumbricals – 4
Dorsal interossei – 4
Palmar interossei - 3

38
Q

Describe the attachments of the dorsal interossei and explain why they cause abduction of the fingers.

A

Dorsal interossei are attached proximally to adjacent metacarpals
They attach distally to the base of the proximal phalanx and extensor expansion towards the axial line (through the middle finger) of the hand
Dorsal interossei 2 and 3 are attached to opposite sides of the middle finger so it fixes the middle finger in the midline while dorsal interossei 1 and 4 cause abduction of the index and little fingers

39
Q

Describe the attachments of the palmar interossei.

A

Palmar interossei are attached to the extensor expansion away from the axial line (there is no palmar interossei attached to the middle finger)
The cause adduction of the fingers whilst the middle finger remains still

40
Q

Describe the attachments of the lumbricals.

A

They are attached proximally to the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus
They come around the lateral side of the digits and inserts onto a hood of connective tissue called the extensor expansion over the proximal interphalangeal joint

41
Q

Describe the sheaths that that the tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus travel in after passing under the flexor retinaculum.

A

They travel under the flexor retinaculum in the common synovial sheath in the carpal tunnel
Then the tendons going to the middle three fingers enter digital synovial sheaths

42
Q

Describe how the little finger and thumb sheaths are different to the other three fingers.

A

Their digital synovial sheaths are continuous with the common synovial sheath

43
Q

Describe the arrangement and attachment of flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus as it runs along the fingers.

A

Flexor digitorum superficialis splits around flexor digitorum profundus around the middle of the proximal phalanx
Flexor digitorum superficialis then attaches to the middle phalanx
Flexor digitorum profundus attaches to the distal phalanx

44
Q

Describe how the arrangement of the digital fibrous sheaths, synovial sheaths and osseo-fibrous sheaths.

A

The entire thing is an osseo-fibrous sheath

This contains digital fibrous sheaths, which, in turn, contain synovial sheaths
