Extensor muscles - location: posterolateral forearm - 6 compartments - radial nerve innervation - extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis - extensor carpi ulnaris - extensor digitorum communis - extensor pollicis longus - extensor pollicis brevis - abductor pollicis longus - extensor indicus - all secured by extensor retinaculum - increase efficiency of the muscles’ pull and prevents “bow stringing” when the wrist is extended
29

To prevent bowstringing
series of pulleys restrain and guide the tendons | during flexion and extension of the fingers
34
flexor tendons require how much more excursion than extensor tendons
4x
35
annular pulleys
tunnels for tendons
36
cruciate pulleys

37
4 Lumbrical muscles
flex MCP, extend PIP and DIP
38
Palmar aponeurosis equals
volar plate
39
Ulnar
passes through tunnel of guyon. | palmar/dorsum - 1/2 ring finger, pinky finger.
40
median

41
Radian nerve
base of thumb, back of hand near thumb below 1st and 2nd fingers
42
Carpal tunnel
fibro-osseus structure floor formed by proximal carpal bones roof - transverse carpal ligaments
43
PVD
peripheral vascular disease (Raynaud's)
44

radial nerve
46

47
Ape Hand
median nerve pathology weakness in thenar eminence pulls thumb medially
48

49
Claw Hand
ulnar and median nerve | extension of MCP, flexion of PIP and DIP
50

flexion of MCP and DIP hyperextension of PIP volar plate injuries, malunion, trauma, arthritis
52
Volkmann's Ischemic Contracture
