What is flexor tendon?

Flexor tendons run from the forearm to the ends of the fingers across the palm side of the hand. They control the ability to bend fingers down to the palm (for example to make a fist, grip, or pinch objects). When these tendons are cut or injured, it can be impossible to bend the fingers or thumb.

What are the hand flexor tendons?

The flexor tendons are strong smooth cords that connect the muscles of the forearm to the bones in the fingers and thumb. There are two to each finger and one for the thumb (See diagram). The tendons run inside tunnels at the wrist and in the fingers, and they bend your fingers in the manner of a bicycle brake cable.

Where is the FDP tendon?

Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons They run down the forearm and within the carpal tunnel. The four tendons glide in sheaths along the hand and fingers and insert into the fingertip bone. These tendons run closer to the bone compared to the rest of the flexors in the hand and fingers.

What are extensor tendons?

Extensor tendons run just underneath the skin along the back of the hands and wrists. They control the hand's ability to straighten the fingers and wrists. A mallet finger injury happens when a finger is jammed, causing an extensor tendon to rupture at the base of the finger joint.

What are the tendons in the hand called?

They, along with flexor pollicis longus (FPL) and the median nerve, travel through the carpal tunnel at the wrist and enter the palmar surface of the hand.

How many extensor tendons are in the hand?

As with all disorders of the hand, diagnosis and correct therapy application hinges on a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy. The upper extremity contains 12 extensor tendons. These tendons comprise an extensor system that dorsally maneuvers the wrist, thumb, and all fingers.
