Collateral ligaments at MCP joint
*Collateral ligaments oblique at MCP joint* -MCP in extension we can ulnar and radially deviate -In flexion we CAN'T ulnar and radially deviate Because collateral ligs taught in flexion and redundant in extension Important because if in cast and can't do 90° flexion their collateral ligaments will never get to full stretch
Dorsal Compartments: 6
*ECU* - posterior interosseous nerve
Dorsal Compartments: 4
*ED*: Primary function is MP joint extension (although doesn't insert onto prox phalanx - shroud fibers encase distal part of MC and proximal part of phalanx) Inserts into middle phalanx. Central slip (top of middle phalanx) easily lacerated. *EI*: ulnar to ED (used for tendon transfers)
Dorsal Compartments: 5
*EDM* - prime MCP joint extensor but if ulnar nerve lesion, EDM can take over for abductor "wingspan"
