This paper reports a case, in which the tendon of theextensor digitorum ended as four tendons to the index, middle, ring and little fingers, but displayed variations in the number oftendons to each finger. Two tendons of extensor digitorum were observed in the ring and the little finger. Such an arrangementof the tendons of the extensor digitorum may have clinical importance. The presence of multiple tendons may also alter thekinematics around the site of attachment to the phalanx. Knowledge of abnormal and normal anatomy of the extensor tendons, maybe helpful while performing graft and tendon transfer operations 2007 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28338206 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.38 |
