Extensor digitorium longus (EDL) is a thin muscle situated in the anterior lower leg lateral to extensor hallucis longus which extends the lateral four toes. Summary. insertion: dorsal aponeurosis on the dorsal surface of the proximal phalanges of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th toes.
This may be corrected surgically by using a slip of the extensor tendon to replace the damaged ligamentous band. Function. The extensor digitorum communis extends the phalanges, then the wrist, and finally the elbow. It tends to separate the fingers as it extends them. In the fingers, the extensor digitorum acts principally on the proximal phalanges, acting to extend the metacarpophalangeal joint.
