“…Other investigators have reported using the extensor indicis proprius transfer. 5 This technique also requires sacrificing the extensor indicis proprius muscle-tendon unit and poses a potential loss of index finger extension. In this procedure, the extensor indicis proprius tendon is also split for elongation and passed dorsal to the extensor digitorum communis.…”

“…However, a fact often overlooked is that anatomical variations of extensor tendons could hamper the success of EDM tendon transfer. Therefore, Extensor indicis proprius was used by a surgeon as alternative reconstructive material to correct the abducted little finger (6). It was also felt that EIP could serve as an efficient and reliable option for treating abduction deformity of the small finger.…”

Innumerable descriptions about variations in the pattern of extensor tendons are recorded in the literature. The dorsum of the hand in an adult male cadaver revealed an unusual pattern of extensor arrangement during a gross anatomical practical session. The extensor digitorum, extensor indicis and extensor digiti minimi tendons displayed a variant pattern. Extensor digitorum contributed tendons only to the middle and ring fingers, with junctura tendinum present between the extensor digitorum for the ring finger and extensor digiti minimi. Interestingly, an accessory muscle was observed arising from the common extensor origin passing to the index finger, in addition to the usual extensor indicis. The origin and insertion of extensor digiti minimi was as usual with an accessory slip contributed from the extensor carpi ulnaris to the proximal phalanx of the fifth finger. The plethora of variations in this region is of paramount importance for the reconstructive surgeon, who may utilize the accessory tendons to restore functional capacity of the fingers.

“…The third palmar interosseous muscle is the only muscle that contributes to the adduction of the little finger, and the loss of this ability can create problems when putting the hand into a pocket or while scooping up water to wash the face [1] , [2] , [3] . Although several cases of difficulty in adduction due to ulnar nerve palsy have been reported [2] , [4] , [5] , it is rarely caused by traumatic rupture [1] , [6] , [7] . Moreover, such injuries among older adults are rare.…”
