329: Laceration of extensor muscle, fascia and tendon of unspecified finger at wrist and hand level.
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.
Verdan defined eight zones- four odd numbered zones overlying each of the joints and four even numbered zones overlying the intervening tendon segments, increasing from distal to proximal.
Surgical repair of a lacerated or torn extensor tendon is called extensor tendon repair. An extensor tendon repair surgery can be performed under either regional or general anesthesia.
The flexor digitorum superficialis tendon attaches to the base of the middle phalanx and flexes the PIP joint. The flexor digitorum profundus tendon is located under and splits the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon. It attaches to the base of the distal phalanx and flexes the DIP.
Extensor tendons are thin tendons located on the back of the hand, just under the skin. These particular tendons allow you to straighten your fingers and thumb and can be injured by a simple cut or jammed finger.
The index and small fingers have 2 extensor tendons apiece (EDC-II and EIP for the index finger; EDC V and EDM for the small finger), and masking could be present if only one is lacerated. Also, extensor tendon laceration of the dorsal palm occurring proximal to juncturae tendineae may also mask extensor dysfunction.
The extensor tendon repair code is 25270—Repair, tendon or muscle, extensor, forearm and/or wrist; primary, single, each tendon or muscle.
There are three, a large one, that extends all four fingers, and two small ones, for the index and little fingers. The large one is extensor digitorum, sometimes called extensor digitorum communis. It arises from the common extensor tendon, and thereby from the lateral epicondyle.
Extensor tendon lacerations occur when an object penetrates the tissues of the hand and severs the tendons on the back of the hand or fingers. This damage may be intentional or accidental, and often involves broken glass, jagged metal, or sharp tools.

Causes of Common Extensor Tendon Origin Rupture Common causes may include: Activity that requires repetitive motion of the forearm such as painting, typing, weaving, gardening, lifting heavy objects, and sports. Overuse of the forearm muscles. Direct trauma as with a fall, work injury, or motor vehicle accident.
