2. Annular ligaments of fingers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_ligaments_of_fingers

   In human anatomy, the annular ligaments of the fingers, often referred to as A pulleys, are the annular part of the fibrous sheathes of the fingers.Four or five such annular pulleys, together with three cruciate pulleys, form a fibro-osseous tunnel on the palmar aspect of the hand through which passes the deep and superficial flexor tendons.

   The primary function of the extensors is to straighten out the digits. The thumb has two extensors in the forearm; the tendons of these form the anatomical snuff box. Also, the index finger and the little finger have an extra extensor, used, for instance, for pointing. The extensors are situated within 6 separate compartments.

4. Interphalangeal joints of the hand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal_joints_of...

   Joints of the hand, X-ray Interphalangeal ligaments and phalanges. Right hand. Deep dissection. Posterior (dorsal) view. The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its thick collateral ligaments are tight in all positions during flexion, contrary to those in the metacarpophalangeal joint.

5. Common flexor sheath of hand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_flexor_sheath_of_hand

   It contains tendons of the flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus, but not the flexor pollicis longus. [ 2 ] The sheath which surrounds the flexor digitorum extends downward about halfway along the metacarpal bones , where it ends in blind diverticula around the tendons to the index , middle , and ring fingers .

6. Flexor digitorum profundus muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_profundus...

   Flexor digitorum profundus lies deep to the superficialis, but it attaches more distally. Therefore, profundus's tendons go through the tendons of superficialis, and end up attaching to the distal phalanx. For this reason profundus is also called the perforating muscle. [2] The lumbricals of the hand arise from the radial side of its tendons. [2]

7. Flexor retinaculum of the hand - Wikipedia

   In carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the tendons or tissues in the carpal tunnel is inflamed, swollen, or fibrotic and puts pressure on the other structures in the tunnel, including the median nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most commonly reported nerve entrapment syndrome. [2] It is often associated with repetitive motions of the wrist and ...

8. Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum...

   These tendons, along with those of flexor digitorum profundus, are enclosed by a common flexor sheath. The tendons attach to the anterior margins on the bases of the intermediate phalanges of the four fingers. These tendons have a split (Camper's Chiasm) at the end of them through which the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus pass.

9. Finger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger

   The muscle bulks that move each finger may be partly blended, and the tendons may be attached to each other by a net of fibrous tissue, preventing completely free movement. Although each finger seems to move independently, moving one finger also moves the other fingers slightly which is called finger interdependence or finger enslaving. [14 ...
