The extensor indicis proprius muscle (EIPM) is considered a key muscle in the assessment of the level of the neurologic lesion causing any motor or sensory medio-cubital impairment of the hand. The aim of this study is to illustrate the anatomical peculiarities of the EIPM, the ultrasound (US) anatomy of the inferoposterior part of the forearm, and the technique of US-guided electromyography (EMG) of the EIPM. The US-guided EMG of the EIPM is technically easy and safe for young practitioners, provided there is a good knowledge of US anatomy of the inferoposterior part of the forearm.
示指固有伸肌(EIPM)被认为是评估导致手部任何运动或感觉中肘损伤的神经病变水平的关键肌肉。本研究的目的是阐明EIPM的解剖学特点、前臂下后部的超声(US)解剖以及EIPM的超声引导肌电图(EMG)技术。对于年轻从业者来说,只要对前臂下后部的超声解剖有充分了解,EIPM的超声引导肌电图在技术上是简单且安全的。
