An extensor expansion (extensor hood, [1] dorsal expansion, dorsal hood, dorsal aponeurosis [citation needed]) is the special connective attachments by which the extensor tendons insert into the phalanges. These flattened tendons (aponeurosis) of extensor muscles span the proximal and middle phalanges. [2]

The extensor digitorum muscle (also known as extensor digitorum communis) [2] is a muscle of the posterior forearm present in humans and other animals. It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of the radial nerve. [3]
Dorsal: metacarpal bones 1 to 5. Palmar: metacarpal bones of digits 2, 4, 5: Insertion: Dorsal: bases of proximal phalanges and extensor expansions of digits 2 to 4. Palmar: base of proximal phalanx and extensor expansion of the same digit from which it originated. Nerve: deep branch of the ulnar nerve: Actions: Dorsal: Abduct digits. Palmar ...

The extensor digiti minimi (extensor digiti quinti proprius) is a slender muscle of the forearm, placed on the ulnar side of the extensor digitorum communis, with which it is generally connected. It arises from the common extensor tendon by a thin tendinous slip and frequently from the intermuscular septa between it and the adjacent muscles.
