One unanswered question is whether the closure of the fascia overlying the
extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and extensor digitorum communis is truly necessary or advisable.
Lateral epicondyle was palpated to locate most tender area and then under aseptic condition, a mixture of 2 ml of autologous blood and 1 ml of 2% xylocaine was injected into the under surface of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis extra-articularly after sensitivity test.
Transfer of the distal terminal motor branch of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis to the nerve of the flexor pollicis longus: an anatomic study and clinical application in a tetraplegic patient.
Mean total activity (integrated EMG) of the flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor pollicis longus, exten sor digitorum communis and
extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles were lower for the cordless than the corded handpieces (Figure 3).
Lateral epicondylitis, or "tennis elbow," refers to chronic micro-tearing of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis and/or extensor digitorum communis.
It bifurcates at the level of the elbow joint into the superficial nerve, which courses dorsally under the
extensor carpi radialis brevis, and the PIN, which dives under the superficial head of the supinator muscle and continues along with the posterior interosseous artery to supply all of deeper lying extensor muscles.
After passing deep to the abductor pollicis longus and
extensor carpi radialis brevis the radial artery reaches the anatomical snuff box where its become a content of it.
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) or "tennis elbow" is an injury at the insertion of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor digitorum.
In the neuroprosthesis on his right side, which was the hand used for this specific study, the two electrodes recording voluntary MES activity were placed in the ipsilateral
extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and the ipsilateral trapezius.
Vascularization of the tendons of the extensor pollicis longus, extensor carpi radialis longus and
extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles.
(3,5,18) It is usually an overuse injury due to repetitive, vigorous contraction of the
extensor carpi radialis brevis as with gripping the club too tightly.
Manual muscle testing revealed weakness (4/5) compared to the uninvolved limb (5/5), in the extensor carpi radialis longus,
extensor carpi radialis brevis and tricep muscles, which was most likely due to pain.
