will be exed. The proximal phalanx joint could not be straightened when the middle band is broken, and when the two lateral bands are ruptured, the distal phalangeal joint could not be extended.
Partition ofExtensor Digitorum
According to The Verdan method, the extensor digitorum is divided into eight regions (Fig.2.46). From far to near is: distal interphalangeal joint region (E I), middle phalanx region (E II), proximial interphalangeal joint region (EIII), proximial phalanx region (EIV), metacarpophalangeal joint region (EV), metacarpal region (EVI), carpal reigion (EVII), with forearm region (EVII).
Thumb is divided into four regions, which are interpha­langeal joint region (TEI), proximial interphalangeal joint region (TEII), metacarpophalangeal joint region (TEIII), and
metacarpal region (TEIV). Among them, the odd region cor­responds to the joint, and the even region corresponds to the nger shaft. Extensor tendon injuries at different sites, bone and joint dysfunction, deformity, and treatment measures are not the same. Therefore, it is of clinical signicance to sub­divide extensor digitorum.
2.2.4 Bones ofHand
Bones of hand are divided into carpal bones, metacarpal bones, and phalanges (Fig.2.47).
Carpal Bones
At the wrist, there are eight pieces, arranged in two rows. The proximal carpal bones are scaphoid bone, lunate bone, triquetral bone, and pisiform bone from outside to inside. The distal carpal bones are trapzium bone, trapezoid bone, capitate bone and hamate bone. All carpal bones are short bones, which are covered with a layer of dense outside, and cancellous inside. Generally cube, there are six sides, palm and dorsum are attached with ligament, appear rough, and the other four are connected to each other in a joint. Except that the palmar surface of lunate is wider and the dorsal sur­face is narrower, the others are opposite.
Fig. 2.46 Partition of extensor digitorum
Metacarpal Bone
There are ve metacarpal bones which are tubular bones, each with a base, shaft, and head.
The base is an enlarged end, and the proximal side is related to the distal carpal bone, forming capometacarpal joint, but the articular surface is not consistent. The rst, third, and fth metacarpal bones are only connected to one carpal bone respectively; the second metacarpal bone is con­nected to trapezium and trapezoid bones and capitate bone; the fourth metacarpal bone is connected to capitate bone and hamate bone; therefore, capitate bone has articular surfaces that are connected to second to fourth metacarpal bones. The base of rst metacarpal is sella-like and forms capometacar­pal joint of thumb with trapezium bone. The two sides of metacarpal base are connected with the adjacent metacarpal base to form intermetacarpal joint, except for rst metacar­pal bone.
The transverse section of shaft is triangular. Anterior margin of second, fourth, and fth metacarpals are attached with palmar interossei. Anterior margin of third metacarpal is attached to transverse head of adductor pollicis. The adja­cent margin of ve metacarpal bodies is attached to dorsal interossei. The shaft of metacarpal is relatively thin and can easily cause fracture. Because of the strong strength of

Joints andLigaments ofHand
Joints of hand include radiocarpal, intercarpal, mediocarpal, capometacarpal, intermetacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints (Fig.2.48).
trapezoid bones on the outer side form concave surface to connect with scaphoid bone, while the medial cephaloid bone and humate bone form convex surface to connect with scaphoid bone, lunate bone, and triquetral bone. The joint cavity is very large, and the left and right sides are com-
Radiocarpal Joint
It is a biaxial elliptic joint consisting of the radial wrist sur­face, lower surface of articular disc, and upper surface of scaphoid, lunate, and triquetral bones. The capsule is thin

pal ligaments. and loose which is enhanced by the around volar carpal liga­ment, dorsal carpal ligament, carpal radial collateral liga­ment, and carpal ulnar collateral ligament. Thin layers of cartilage cover the articular surface and articular head. The joint space is broad. The radiocarpal joint is a unied func­tional whole during movement.
Intermetacarpal Joint
There are three intermetacarpal joints, which are located at
the bottom of the second to fth metacarpal bones. They are
fretter plane joints that are related to the capsule respectively.
The joint cavity is communicated with the carpal metacarpal
joint. The joint capsule is enhanced by metacarpal, dorsal

and interosseous ligaments of metacarpal. The proximal intercarpal joint is composed of scaphoid, lunate and triquetral bones and belongs to fretter plane joint which is enhanced by intercarpal volar ligament, intercarpal dorsal ligament, and intercarpal interosseous ligament. In addition, pisiform bone joint is formed with pisiform bone and triquetral bone, with an independent joint capsule and joint cavity, and is enhanced by pisiform palm ligament and pisiform lunate ligament.
The distal intercarpal joint is composed of trapezium, trapezoid, capitate bone, and hamate bones and belongs to fretter plane joint which is also enhanced by intercarpal volar ligament, intercarpal dorsal ligament, and intercarpal inter­osseous ligament.
Metacarpophalangeal Joint
It is a ball and socket joint composed of the metacarpal head and the proximal phalanx bottom can do exion and exten­sion, retraction and rotation, but the thumb metacarpopha­langeal joint is exion joint, and can only do exion and extension movement. The volar ligaments around the cap­sule are also called palmar plate and collateral ligaments. The second to fth metacarpal heads are connected by deep transverse ligament.

2.3 Applied Anatomy oftheFoot
2.3.1 Dorsum oftheFoot
Supercial Structures
The dorsum of foot is similar to that of hand, thinner and more mobile, with loose supercial fascia and lack of fat. Therefore, the supercial veins, tendons, and other structures in the deep surface of the skin are clearly visible. When edema occurs, the subcutaneous tissue of dorsal foot is swol­len, especially in front of and around the medial malleolus.
Supercial veins: The abundant supercial veins in the supercial fascia form dorsal venous arch of foot, whose
a
inner and outer ends back along the two sides of the foot dorsal edge to the ankle on both sides, gradually proceed upward to great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein (Fig. 2.49a). Great saphenous vein passes in front of the medial malleolus in the premalleolus region and is accompa­nied by saphenous nerve.
Supercial lymph vessels: Lymph vessels are also simi­lar to veins, forming a rich network of lymphatic vessels. The supercial lymphatic network of distal palm of foot ows into dorsal lymphatic network at the webs.
Cutaneous nerves: There are four cutaneous nerves in dorsal area of foot (Fig.2.49b): (1) Saphenous nerve (termi­nal branch of femoral nerve) distributes in medial dorsal

Deep Structures
Extensor retinaculum Continuation from deep fascia of the lower leg, local thickening in the anterior malleolus region, formed two extensor retinaculums, which are: (1) superior extensor retinaculum (also called ligamentum transversum cruris): It is a wide band located at the junc­tion of lower end of the calf and ankle, between the lower end of tibia and bula, formed by thickening of the trans­verse bers of deep fascia in front of the lower leg. There are two spaces in deep surface, tibialis anterior, anterior tibial vessels, and deep peroneal nerve passing through

The lateral end is attached to the lateral surface of calcaneus. The medial end is divided into upper and lower bands attached to the medial malleolus and rst cuneiform bone respectively. Inferior extensor retinaculum gives off brous septum to deep bone surface and forms three osteobrous canals: medial, middle, and lateral. Tibialis anterior in medial canal, extensor longus tendon of great toe, dorsal vessels of foot and deep peroneal nerve in middle canal, extensor digitorum longus tendon, and third peroneus muscle in lateral canal.
Dorsal facial and facial spaces of foot: Dorsal fascia of foot can be divided into supercial and deep layers. The supercial layer is the continuation of inferior extensor reti­naculum, which is attached to periosteum of medial and lat-

eral edges of foot. The deep layer is also known as dorsal interosseous fascia, which is attached to the surface of inter­osseous dorsal muscle and periosteum of metatarsal bones. The dorsal fascia space between the supercial and deep lay­ers accommodates extensor digitorum longus tendon and tendinous sheath, extensor digitorum brevis and its tendinous sheath, dorsal artery and its branches, associated veins, and deep peroneal nerve.

ply for toes and continues to anterior tibial artery at the lower margin of superior extensor retinaculum. Usually, it goes down the lateral side of extensor longus tendon of great toe and reaches the rst metatarsal space through the deep surface of MU extensor brevis of great toe, which is divided into two terminal branches: deep plantar branch and rst dor­sal metatarsal artery. The former reaches the plantar and anastomoses with lateral plantar artery to form plantar arch. The latter is distributed on dorsal part of great toe and medial part of dorsal part of second toe. Branches of dorsal artery of foot include lateral tarsal artery, medial tarsal artery, arcuate
Supercial Structures
The skin is thick, dense, and tough, with small mobility, especially in the following parts, such as the heel, rst and fth metatarsal bones that are weight support points, which is easy to form callose due to friction thickening. Dense brous bundles in supercial fascia connect the skin to deep plantar fascia closely, and there is a lot of fat between the bundles, forming brous fat pads, which can play the role of seismic buffer. In addition, the plantar skin is hairless, but the sweat glands are rich and sensitive.
artery, and cutaneous perforator (Fig.2.52).
Deep peroneal nerve: In dorsal area of foot most line at the inside of dorsal artery of foot, gives off muscle branches that dominate dorsal muscles of foot. The terminal branch becomes a cutaneous branch, divided into two dorsal digital nerves of toe that distribute to the skin on dorsal side of the opposite edge of rst and second toe after coming through the rst metatarsal space. Once the deep peroneal nerve is injuried, the muscle cannot extend ankle joint and toes.
Deep Structures
Deep structures are mainly plantar fascia, plantar nerves, and blood vessels. The deep fascia is divided into two layers: The plantar aponeurosis is formed by the supercial layer cover­ing the plantar muscle surface, which is thin on both sides and thick in the middle, just like palmar aponeurosis. The deep layer covers the plantar side of interosseous muscle, also known as plantar interosseous fascia (Fig.2.53).

Plantar aponeurosis: It is a long triangle with narrow posterior end, attached to the medial part of the anterior mar­gin of calcaneal tubercle, and its front end is fan-shaped into 5 bands to the tendon sheath of each toe. It gives off two muscular spaces, ending at rst and fth metatarsals respec­tively, which divide the plantar pedis into three osteofascial sheaths: medial, middle and lateral. (1) Medial osteofascial sheath: It is medial to rst metatarsal bone, accommodating abductor pollicis of toe, exor pollicis brevis of toe, exor pollicis longus of toe, and its blood vessels and nerves; (2) middle osteofascial sheath: It is located between the lateral side of rst metatarsal and the medial side of fth metatarsal, accommodating exor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantar, adductor pollicis of toe, exor digitorum longus, lumbricals, lateral plantar nerve and branches, plantar artery arch and branches, etc. (3) Lateral osteofascial sheath: Lateral to fth metatarsal bone, accommodating abductor digitorum min­imi, exor digitorum brevis minimi, as well as its blood ves­sels and nerves.

These muscles in fascia sheath and tendons from calf pos­terior muscle group are arranged in four layers on plantar to maintain arch of foot. Abductor pollicis of toe, exor digito­rum brevis, and abductor digitorum minimi are in the rst layer. Quadratus plantae, lumbricals, exor digitorum longus and exor pollicis longus of toe are in the second layer. Flexor pollicis brevis of toe, adductor pollicis of toe, exor digito­rum brevis minimi are in the third layer. Three plantar interos­sei and four dorsal interossei are in the fourth layer (Table2.3).
Blood vessels and nerves of plantar pedis Posterior tibial artery and tibial nerve are divided into medial and lat­eral plantar arteries and medial and lateral plantar nerves respectively when they cross malleolar canal. Medial plantar artery is the smaller of the two terminal branches, which runs along plantar pedis with the eponymous vein and nerve, moves forward along the medial margin and distributes in adjacent tissues, and its end is anastomosed with rst to third plantar arteries digital. Lateral plantar artery is larger, accom­panied by the eponym vein and nerve oblique forward, pen-
