Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon

Background: Extensor tendon disorders may cause severe functional impairments, and there is a lack of knowledge about their anatomic associations with the proximal fingernail matrix. Objective: To delineate the association between the distal extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPLT) insertion and the limit of the fingernail matrix in the thumb. Methods: The limit of the fingernail matrix and the distal bony insertion of the EPLT were identified in five thumbs from fresh-frozen human cadavers. An additional five thumbs were fixed and the longitudinal thumb sections were histologically analyzed. Results: The terminal limit of the matrix and fingernail was dorsal and overlapped to the EPL tendon, which was located between the fingernail matrix and the phalanx, and extended dorsally to the distal section of the terminal phalanx in all ten thumb bodies. Conclusion: The fingernail matrix is not directly inserted into the periosteum of the dorsal section of the base to the distal phalanx, because this anatomic relationship is separated by the deep fibers of the EPLT.

Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon

There is a higher risk that the tendon of extensor pollicis longus will rupture in undisplaced Colles’ type of fracture than in those which are displaced. This difference in incidence is due to the integrity of the extensor retinaculum in undisplaced Colles’ type of fracture causing the tendon to be held tight against the fracture callus in the floor of the tunnel which may result in an attrition rupture. In the displaced Colles’ fracture the extensor retinaculum is torn from the bone and thus permits the tendon to escape from contact with the fracture site.

Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon

Fracture of the base of the third metacarpal with associated avulsion of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon is a rare injury. We report such a fracture and the unusual resulting complication of division of the extensor pollicis longus tendon by the avulsed bony fragment. Careful monitoring using lateral radiographs is needed to make the diagnosis and displacement of the avulsed fragment warrants open reduction and internal fixation.
