27+ Epl Tendon Gif. The epl tendon is the anchor of the epl muscle, which is important for straightening the thumb. The extensor pollicis longus (epl) tendon extends the thumb interphalangeal joint and also contributes to metacarpophalangeal joint extension.

Spontan epl tendon kompası nadir karşılaşılan bir patoloji olup mekanizması halen tartışmalıdır. Considering that the epl tendon rupture was associated with the bone growth, we performed rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (epl) tendon may result from fractures, surgery, trauma.
The extensor pollicis longus (epl) tendon extends the thumb interphalangeal joint and also contributes to metacarpophalangeal joint extension.
Three important principles should be emphasized. Patients with epl tendon anomalies typically are asymptomatic, without deficits in thumb extension often, epl tendon anomalies are found during surgery while correcting another wrist/hand pathology. This tendon is vulnerable to rupture in the tunnel at the wrist. Both are made of collagen.
