ulnar direction. Once you recall the number of tendons in each
compartment, you just need to place them correctly. e rst
compartment contains the APL and the extensor pollicis brevis
(EPB) tendons. ese 2 tendons are in a tight space lying over
the radial styloid and is the location of De Quervain tendinopathy. e APL tendon inserts at the base of the rst metacarpal
and only a small segment of the tendon can be seen on most
people. As it is not as prominent as the other thumb extensors
(EPB and extensor pollicis longus [EPL]), the APL muscle/tendon is easy to overlook, but can be found just radial and palmar
to the EPB tendon. e APL tendon moves the thumb CMC
joint into radial abduction while the EPB tendon extends the
MP joint of the thumb.
e second compartment includes the ECRL and extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendons. e tendons insert
on the metacarpals of the index and long ngers, respectively. An important distinction here is that the ECRL is the only
wrist extensor innervated proximal to the division of the radial
nerve into the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) and supercial sensory nerve branches. e third compartment holds only
the EPL tendon. is tendon is quite visible when performing
active thumb retropulsion, but its primary role is as the extensor
of the IP joint of the thumb. is tendon
courses around the ulnar border of Lister’s
tubercle at the wrist level and both acute
and chronic ruptures of the EPL have been
associated with fractures of the distal radi-
24
us.
e fourth compartment holds the 4
tendons from the ED as well as the tendon of the extensor indicis (EI). ere is 1
tendon of the ED to each nger, with the
primary action being extension of the MP
joints, though they also contribute distally,
via the central slip, to the extensor expansion to assist in IP joints extension. e
EI tendon, found on the ulnar side of the
ED tendon of the index nger, performs
the same functions for the index nger.
e fth compartment holds 1 tendon,
the extensor digiti quinti (EDQ) tendon,
which assists the ED tendon to the small
nger. ere are intertendinous connections called juncturae tendinae connecting the ED tendons to each other, most
commonly between the ED tendon of the
ring nger to the ED tendon of the small
nger and between the ED tendon of the
ring nger to the ED tendon of the long
Figure 5A). Functionally the junc-
nger (
turae tendinae assist the extensor tendons
to work cohesively, but in doing so make
independent MP joint extension dicult,
particularly for the long and ring ngers.
As the index and small ngers have an in-
dependent extensor in the EI and EDQ tendons, they are better
able to extend the MP joint, even when the long and ring ngers are in a exed position. Try it moment: Make a full st and
gently attempt to actively extend only your ring or your long
nger at the MP joint. You should nd that it is both dicult
and uncomfortable because you are lengthening the ED as a
unit when you make a st, and then attempting to shorten only
1 tendon by actively moving 1 nger into extension. e juncturae tendinae is tethering the tendons making the above action
uncomfortable and even impossible for some. In contrast, again
make a full st but now extend the index or small nger MP
joints. You should nd this much easier with the EI and EDQ
to assist here.
e sixth compartment holds the tendon of the ECU muscle, the ulnar-most extensor tendon. Recall the sheath of this
tendon is listed as a part of the ulnar-sided soft tissue complex,
the TFCC. e ECU tendon may sublux palmarly with gripping and rotation activities causing a snapping sensation which
may or may not be painful. e combination of ECRL, ECRB,
and ECU muscles are the motors for wrist extension.
e extrinsic exors of the wrist include the FCU and the
exor carpi radialis (FCR) muscles. As noted previously, the

moid on its way to insert upon the base of the fth metacarpal.
e FCR tendon passes by the scaphoid tubercle on its way to
insert upon the second metacarpal. e extrinsic exors of the
digits all pass under the transverse exor retinaculum as they
travel from the forearm into the hand passing through the carpal canal or tunnel. Within the tunnel, the 4 FDP tendons line
up in a row along the carpal bones. ey are the most dorsal
tendons within the carpal canal. e 4 FDS tendons stack on
top of (anterior to) the FDP tendons in 2 rows of 2. e tendons to the index and small ngers are in the deeper row, and
the tendons to the long and ring ngers are in the most supercial row. e exor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon, the extrinsic
exor to the thumb, is the most radially located tendon in the
carpal tunnel. It travels the length of the thumb to insert at the
base of the distal phalanx.
e extrinsic exor muscles of the ngers diverge on the
distal side of the exor retinaculum to travel to their designated
ngers. At the level of the metacarpal heads, 1 FDP tendon and
1 FDS tendon for each digit pass into a brous sheath. In Fig-
entering an intact tendon sheath. In the same gure, the long
nger shows the insertion sites of the FDS and FDP tendons
onto the middle and distal phalanges, respectively. Each FDS
tendon splits into 2 slips with each slip attaching to a ridge on
the edges of the volar middle phalanx. e area between the

2 slips is called the chiasm of Camper. e FDP tendon passes through the chiasm to insert on the volar base of the distal
phalanx. e FDS tendon functions to ex the PIP joints of the
ngers but is assisted by the FDP. e FDP tendon is the only
exor of the DIP joint.
e intact tendon sheath includes areas where tissue bers
are found to be oriented in a circular (annular) or crossed direction (cruciate). ese thickened, organized areas of the sheath,
form the pulley system. e mechanical function of the pulleys
is to hold the exor tendons close to the phalanges through
the complete arc of IP joint motion. Without this support, the
tendons would pull away (called bowstringing) from the bone.
Bowstringing can occur with ruptures or lacerations of the pulley system. Figure 7A illustrates IP joint exion with an intact
pulley system and Figure 7B shows how this motion is dramatically altered if the tendons bowstring, separating away from
their close proximity to the phalanges.
ere are 3 cruciate pulleys, C1, C2, and C3, and 5 annular pulleys, A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5. e most important are
the A2 and A4 pulleys at the levels of the proximal and middle
phalanges, respectively.
25
ese pulleys maintain the integrity
of the system. Some surgical procedures require partial sacrice
of the pulley system. But, if at least a portion of the A2 and
A4 pulleys remain intact, the mechanics of the system remains
functional. e A2 pulley is the area known to rupture in 75%
of rock climbers’ nger injuries.
26
e A1 pulley is found at
the level of the metacarpal head and is the
most common location for a trigger nger
to occur. Resecting the A1 pulley is a surgical option for a trigger nger because this
pulley is not considered crucial for tendon
function of the digit. Trigger nger pathology is further discussed in the soft tissue
disorders section of this monograph.
e intrinsic muscles of the hand
complement the extrinsic muscles allowing for rened and precise movements
and actions. Intrinsic muscles, by denition, originate and insert within the hand.
e intrinsic muscles include the lumbricals, palmar and dorsal interossei, and
the muscles of the thenar and hypothenar
groups. Table 4 provides more details re-
garding the intrinsic muscles. In general,
the lumbrical muscles arise from the FDP
tendons to insert upon the radial side of
the associated MP joint, contributing to
the radial side of the extensor hood. e
lumbricals perform MP joint exion and
oer signicant contribution to IP joints
extension, placing the hand in an intrinsic plus position, as seen in Figure 8. e

lumbrical muscles are numbered I to IV moving from the radial

to the ulnar side of the hand. Lumbricals I and II are unipennate while lumbricals III and IV are bipennate muscles arising
from 2 neighboring FDP tendons.

Intrinsic Plus Position
e dorsal interossei are a group of 4 bipennate muscles
arising from the metacarpals, inserting on the proximal phalanges, and then continuing with a contribution to the extensor
hood. ese muscles abduct the index and ring ngers away
from the long nger, and move the long
nger away from center, both radially and
ulnarly.
e palmar interossei are a group of 3
unipennate muscles arising from the metacarpals of the index, ring, and small ngers with each attaching to the base of its
proximal phalanx as well as contributing
to the IP joints extensor mechanism. e
rst palmar interosseous is found on the
ulnar side of the index metacarpal and acts
to adduct the index to the long nger. e
second and third palmar interossei arise
from the radial side of the ring and small
metacarpals, respectively, and adduct these
ngers toward the long nger.
e hypothenar intrinsic muscles include the abductor digiti minimi, the exor digiti minimi, and the opponens digiti
minimi (ODM). ese muscles arise from
the pisiform, hook of the hamate, and
ulnar side of the exor retinaculum. e
ODM inserts along the length of the shaft
of the fth metacarpal, the exor digiti
minimi and abductor digiti minimi insert
onto the base of the proximal phalanx,
with the abductor digiti minimi having a
second slip continuing as a contribution to
the small nger’s extensor hood.
e thenar eminence is composed of
a group of 4 muscles that help to position
the thumb in its multiple orientations and
help with stability during ne motor tasks. e group consists
of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB), the opponens pollicis
(OP), the exor pollicis brevis (FPB), and the AP muscles. e
APB muscle inserts on the radial side on the base of the proximal phalanx and provides the strong motor for palmar abduction of the thumb. Both the APB and the FPB contribute a slip
on the radial side of the MP joint to the extensor hood of the
thumb (the dorsal aponeurosis) while the AP contributes to the
extensor hood from the ulnar side.
e extension mechanism for the IP joints of the ngers is
complex and is probably best reviewed by studying the drawings
in Figures 5B and 6B, as well as the dorsal view of the hand
(Figure 5A). ough the contributors to the nger IP joints
extension have already been named, focusing on the extensor
hood alone should help to complete the understanding of this
anatomy. e extrinsic ED tendons contribute the central slip
to the middle phalanx of each digit and also send contributions

cles’ contributions are to the radial side of each nger’s extensor
hood and are the most palmar portion of the lateral band. e
tendons of the interossei make up the rest of the contribution
into the lateral bands. e bands sit dorsal to the axis of rotation
of the PIP joint in extension and must slide palmarly around
the bony condyles when the PIP joint moves into exion.
Ligament support from a triangular ligament connect the
edges of the bands on the dorsal surface over each middle phalanx (Figure 5A) and a transverse retinacular ligament connect
to the palmar side of the bands (
Figure 6B). e balance be-
tween the triangular ligament and transverse retinacular ligament serves to maintain the proper position of the lateral bands.
Disruption of the bands themselves or the ligaments that support them can result in abnormal PIP joint postures such as a
Boutonnière (exion of the PIP joint and extension of the DIP
joint) or swan-neck (PIP joint hyperextension and DIP joint
exion) deformity. e conjoined lateral bands continue to the
base of the distal phalanx and become the terminal tendon, the
extensor of the DIP joint.
Neurovascular Structures
ree peripheral nerves (median, ulnar, and radial) originating from the brachial plexus (contributions from C5–8 and
T1) supply the sensory and motor innervation to the wrist and
hand. We recommend reviewing the pathways of these 3 major
nerves as they come o the plexus. e median nerve passes
through the antecubital fossa of the elbow, with the brachial
artery, into the forearm to innervate the pronator teres, FCR,
palmaris longus, and FDS muscles. An important branch o
the median nerve then arises, the anterior interosseous nerve
(AIN), which innervates the FPL, the FDP to the index and
long ngers, and the pronator quadratus muscles. As the median nerve continues distally, a palmar cutaneous branch emerges
that supplies sensation to the anterior skin of the radial distal
forearm, the medial palm of the hand, and the thenar eminence.
is branch does come o the nerve prior to the median nerve
entering the carpal tunnel. e median nerve continues distally
through the carpal tunnel to supply sensory innervation to the
volar surfaces of the index, long, and half of the ring ngers as
well as the thumb. e median nerve’s sensory distribution also
includes a portion of the dorsal surface on each nger except
the small nger and the thumb. Typically, this dorsal coverage
includes the areas from the distal tips of these digits to the PIP
joint creases. e branches of the median nerve supplying sensation to the ngers have a small motor component to them
16
innervating lumbricals I and II.
e median nerve also has
a very important motor branch, the recurrent motor branch,
which courses radially after going through the carpal tunnel to
supply the following thenar intrinsic muscles: APB, OP, and the
supercial head of the FPB.
e ulnar nerve travels through the cubital tunnel at the
level of the elbow joint, and then between the heads of the FCU
into the forearm. e nerve innervates only 2 extrinsic muscles,
the FCU and the 2 ulnar components (to the ring and small
ngers) of the FDP muscle as it courses distally towards the
wrist. Two sensory branches arise from the ulnar nerve prior to
entering the hand, the palmar and dorsal cutaneous branches.
ese dedicated sensory portions of the nerve supply the anterior and posterior portions of the ulnar half of the hand and distal
forearm. e ulnar nerve continues toward the hand dividing
into a supercial sensory branch and a deep motor branch as
it enters the ulnar tunnel (Guyon canal), found between the
pisiform and the hook of the hamate. e supercial branch
primarily provides sensation to the small nger and the ulnar
half of the ring nger. e deep branch is the very important
motor branch, which innervates many of the intrinsic muscles
of the hand. Ulnar-innervated intrinsic muscles include all 3 of
the hypothenar intrinsic muscles, all palmar and dorsal interossei muscles, lumbricals III and IV, the AP, and the deep head of
the FPB muscle.
e only muscle that is a primary hand or wrist motor innervated by the radial nerve is the ECRL. e radial nerve then
divides into a motor branch (the PIN) and a supercial sensory branch. is division of the radial nerve occurs just proximal to the heads of the supinator. e PIN (motor nerve only)
provides innervation to the remaining wrist extensor muscles
(ECRB and ECU), the nger extensors (ED, EI, EDQ), and all
the extrinsic extensor muscles to the thumb (APL, EPB, EPL).
e supercial branch of the radial nerve (sensory nerve only) is
the sensory branch that travels distally under the brachioradialis
to the level of the radial styloid where it emerges to supply sensation to the dorsoradial side of the hand.
e arterial blood supply to the hand arises from the brachial artery, which diverges into the radial and ulnar arteries.
Each artery separates into supercial and deep branches. e
2 supercial branches communicate in the palm of the hand as
the supercial palmar arch and the 2 deep branches ultimately communicate together to form the deep palmar arch. Both
arches contribute 3 branches that combine as they progress distally to ultimately result in the radial and ulnar arteries for each
digit. e deep branch of the radial artery dives dorsally by the
rst metacarpal under the APL and EPB tendons to create the
dorsal metacarpal branches and the princeps pollicis (branch
to the thumb) before re-emerging in the palm and connecting
9
with the deep branch of the ulnar artery.
Both the supercial
and deep branches of the radial artery send blood supply to the
distal scaphoid.
EXAMINATION
Interview and Relevant History
e examination begins by taking a thorough history and
performing a systems review. Relevant historical data include
the following
• demographic information,
• history of the current injury or illness,

• date and mechanism of injury,
https://t.me/med1917
• prior treatment,
• relevant surgical history,
• chief complaint(s),
• lifestyle (eg, living environment, social support),
•
functional status and activity level (eg, work activities, recreational activities),
• general health status,
• prior medical history,
• family medical history,
• medications,
• growth and development,
• social and health habits,
• diagnostic tests and measures, and
• patient’s goals for therapy.
If the patient has primary complaints of pain, discuss specic aspects of the pain, including the location, frequency, intensity, type, duration, and activities that increase or decrease
the pain. Also, note the location, frequency, intensity, and duration of any numbness, tingling, temperature or color changes,
and abnormal clicks, clunks, or sounds, as these may be indicative of injuries to specic tissues.
Use self-report measures that are reliable, valid, and responsive to change to help better understand the overall impact
of the condition on the patient’s lifestyle. Common self-report
measures for the wrist and hand include the Disabilities of the
28
Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH),
the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE).
the QuickDASH,29 and

e Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (CTQ) is a disease-specic instrument for
individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It includes 2
scales, one for measuring symptom severity (CTQ-SSS) and an-
31
other for assessing function (CTQ-FS).
Observation
First, observe how the patient presents in the clinic or the
department, how they are holding the extremity, and whether
they seem apprehensive. Also specically look at the patient’s
resting hand posture; the ngers should rest in slight exion,
with more exion in the ulnar than radial ngers. Note if there
are any obvious or gross deformities. One should be aware of
typical presentations caused by injuries or disease processes. For
example, bony or joint malalignment may be indicative of a
fracture or malunion. Loss of the resting hand position could
indicate a tendon laceration, contracture, or peripheral nerve in-

be due to a nerve injury. Common sites of atrophy include the
thenar and hypothenar eminences as well as the intrinsic muscles between the metacarpals and in the rst dorsal web span.
An ulnar claw-hand (hyperextension of the ring and small ngers MP joints with exion of the corresponding IP joints) is
the result of an injury to the ulnar nerve, while an ape hand
- loss of the ability to abduct the thumb away from the palm - is
caused by an injury to the median nerve or long-standing CTS.
Ulnar drift at the MP joints is a pattern typically seen in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Boutonnière and swan-neck
deformities are brought on by soft tissue imbalances that occur
after an injury or by disease process.
Observe the skin for wounds (surgical and nonsurgical),
scars, nodules, and cysts. When abnormalities exist, perform
a more detailed assessment including wound type, size, status, and drainage. Assess scar characteristics such as tenderness
or sensitivity, size, thickness, color, and height. e Vancouver Scar Scale can be used for an objective assessment of the
patient’s scar.
33
Excessive scar tissue, or scar that is adhered to
the subcutaneous tissue, could interfere with tendon glide and
ROM, and hypersensitivity could interfere with functional activities. Note the size and location of any nodules or cysts as
they may be indicative of arthritic conditions.
Observe the skin for abnormal coloration, moisture, tone,
texture, and creases. Redness may be a sign of inammation
or infection; whereas pallor in a nger may be indicative of a
vascular disorder such as Raynaud’s disease (or phenomenon)
or digital artery injury or occlusion. Bluish, dusky, or cyanotic
coloring is a result of venous occlusion. Venous occlusion can
occur after soft tissue surgery and result in edema or ischemia.
Dry skin may indicate a peripheral nerve lesion and hyperhidrosis may signify increased sympathetic activity.
32
Trophic changes resulting from inadequate tissue nourishment may aect
skin texture (making it appear soft, hard, brotic, smooth, or
atrophic) and produce changes in the nails (ridges, blemishes,
curves) and hair (length, thickness).
34
Trophic changes occur
when there is sympathetic involvement such as in complex regional pain syndrome. Skin creases or ridges may be diminished
or absent in the presence of edema or trophic changes associated
with nerve injury.
32
Fingernail abnormalities can be present in a variety of hand
or systemic conditions.
35
Clubbing of the nails often suggests
pulmonary or inammatory bowel disease, whereas spoonshaped nails (longitudinal concavity) may be present in patients
with iron deciency, Raynaud’s disease, or lupus erythemato-
35
sus.
e appearance (clean, dirty, callus formation, etc) of the
skin and nails may also provide information on how the patient
is using their hands.

whereas
circumferential measurements may be best in the presence of
more local edema or joint eusion. Circumferential measurements can be made at specic landmarks (eg, wrist crease, distal
palmar crease, phalanges, IP joints) or a gure-of-eight method
(Figure 9) may be used.

Using palpation, examine skin temperature, texture, and mobility and compare with the opposite
hand. Palpate any scars to evaluate stiness, adherence,
and sensitivity. Also, palpate specic bony and soft tissue areas for point tenderness that might indicate an
injury or pathology, such as a fracture or tenosynovitis
(Table 5).
Range of Motion
When appropriate, rst perform a general screening of active movement to initiate the tests and measures portion of the examination. With certain conditions, such as a recent tendon repair, active and even
potentially passive motion could be contraindicated, so
one must thoroughly understand the patient’s medical
and surgical history prior to performing the movement
assessment. General screening includes observation of
gross movement patterns. As the patient actively moves
the wrist between extension and exion, with the ngers relaxed, tenodesis moves the ngers proportionate-

Following the general movement screening, continue with
a more detailed examination using goniometric measurements.
e ROM assessment should provide data on overall joint mobility, muscle and tendon function, tendon excursion, tendon
length or tightness, and associated symptoms. Compare values
to the opposite side and published normal values and compare
active ROM (AROM) values with passive ROM (PROM)
values. Normally, PROM is slightly greater than AROM. If
PROM exceeds AROM by more than 10°, there is likely weakness or tendon adhesions. Other reasons could be due to pain
or fear of movement. When AROM and PROM are similar
and accompanied by a capsular end-feel, there may be a joint
or capsular restriction. e absence of exion AROM at a DIP
joint could be a result of a exor tendon rupture, such as a jersey
nger, whereas absent extension AROM at the DIP joint may
be indicative of an extensor tendon rupture.
One may also choose to measure isolated, or single joint motion to eliminate
the inuence of soft tissue structures (eg,
tendons) that cross multiple joints. Measure isolated or single joint ROM by positioning the joints adjacent to the one being
measured in positions that relax the interconnecting soft tissue structures. To measure nger ROM, the therapist uses a nger goniometer on the dorsum of the nger
or hand with the axis over the joint being
measured and asks the patient to ex and
extend the nger. If using a small standard
goniometer, rather than a nger goniometer, one may choose to place it on the radial
or ulnar aspect of the nger, aligning the
goniometer axis with the axis of the joint
being measured and the stationary and
moving arms with the adjacent phalanges.
Document the position of the goniometer
if there is any deviation from the standard
goniometric measurement procedures.
Measure wrist exion and extension
with the ngers relaxed to avoid confounding results due to tightness of the nger extensors (which limits wrist exion) or nger exors (which limits wrist extension).
e most accurate goniometric method to
measure wrist exion and extension is the
dorsal/volar method (Figure 11).

Additional measures include ulnar and radial
deviation and forearm supination and pronation. Researchers have reported dierent
methods for measuring forearm supination
