Description[edit | edit source]
Extensor Indicis Propius is a narrow elongated skeletal muscle situated in deep layer of posterior compartment of the forearm along with Supinator, Abductor Pollicis Longus, Extensor Pollicis Longus and Brevis. It is responsible for the movement of the index finger.[1]
Origin[edit | edit source]
It originates from the posterior surface of Ulna (distal to Extensor Pollicis Longus muscle) and interosseous membrane.[1]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
It inserts on the base of the second proximal phalange and into the tendon of Extensor Digitorum.[2]
Nerve[edit | edit source]
It is innervated by the Posterior Interosseous nerve which is a deep branch of Radial nerve ( 7th and 8th cervical nerve root).[1]
Artery[edit | edit source]
It is supplied by the Posterior Interosseous branch of the Ulnar artery and perforating branches of the Anterior Interosseous artery.[4]
Function[edit | edit source]
- The primary function of Extensor Indicis Propius is the extension of second digit at metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints.
- It may assist in wrist extension.
- It assists in abducting the index finger.
- It may assist in slight supination of forearm.
