Description[edit | edit source]
Extensor Digiti Minimi is a long slender skeletal muscle situated in the posterior compartment of the forearm. It lies between Extensor Digitorum and Extensor Carpi Ulnaris and is generally connected to the Extensor Digitorum. The antagonist of this muscle is Flexor Digiti Minimi muscle.[1]
Origin[edit | edit source]
It originates from the common extensor origin present on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus by a tendinous slip and from the intermuscular septum.
Insertion[edit | edit source]
It may or may not divide into two as it crosses the hand.[1] It inserts in the base of the fifth proximal phalange on the dorsal side.[3]
Nerve[edit | edit source]
Posterior Interosseous Nerve ( C7, C8 )[3]
Artery[edit | edit source]
Radial recurrent artery from Radial artery and Posterior Interosseous artery from Ulnar artery.
Function[edit | edit source]
Extensor Digiti Minimi helps in extending the fifth finger along with Extensor Digitorum Communis. It also helps in extension of the wrist.
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
The conditions involving Extensor Digiti Minimi are Vaugh Jackson Syndrome and Tenosynovits.
Assessment[edit | edit source]
Palpation, MMT and Muscle Length Test are used in the assessment of Extensor Digiti Minimi.
