Free radical activity following contraction-induced injury to the extensor digitorum longus muscles of rats.
The lateral surface is marked by a flat groove for the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.
Where it lies upon the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis, it is accompanied by the dorsal interosseous nerve.
Note that "brevis" is usually included to differentiate it from a "longus" muscle of the same name.
This ligament converts the groove on the plantar surface of the cuboid into a canal for the tendon of the fibularis longus.
The extensor carpi radialis longus muscle is inserted on the dorsal surface and the flexor carpi radialis muscle on the volar surface of the base.
Technique for transferring the m. extensor carpi radialis longus: the m. extensor carpi radialis longus tendon is divided at its insertion on the second metacarpal.
At the carpal joints longus acts in dorsiflexion with the extensor carpi ulnaris and in radial abduction with the flexor carpi radialis.
