Dissections of the accessory (fascial to tendinous) slips stemming from the extensor tendons (EDC II, EDC V, and EDL V). The accessory slip from EDC II (double asterisks) is thinner than the main tendon (a) or the same thickness (b), and inserting into the MCP joint of digit III (a, b) or the axial tendon of m. interosseous (atI) (c). Note the divergent course of the EDC II and V proximal to the corresponding MCP joint in (a). The EDC II (d) or its accessory tendinous slip (e) having two superficial (s) and deep (d) slips. f (No. 15R) An oblique filamentous band (thick arrow) between the EDC tendons of digits IV and V in the fourth metacarpal space. (g) The accessory slip (black dotted borders) from the EDL to digit V (EDL V) inserting into the MCP joint of the same digit in three manus (one left (No. 11) and one bilateral (No. 16). Scale bar: 20 mm
