There are some minor differences in ...
Tenotomy does risk subluxation of the distal interphalangeal joint (coffin joint), [4] which may be avoided with the use of heel extensions on the shoe.

It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of ...
Flexor digitorum profundus is a flexor of the wrist , metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. [2] The lumbricals, intrinsic muscles of the hand, attach to the tendon of flexor digitorum profundus. Thus, the flexor muscle is used to aid the lumbrical muscles in their role as extensors of the interphalangeal joints.
