<v ->Now there is a bare area
0:03
as I mentioned between the ulnar bursa
0:06
and these digital tendon sheets
0:08
and that bare area
0:10
is occupied by muscles.
0:12
These are the lumbrical muscles.
0:14
Now the reason I wanted to mention that
0:16
is that strains of these muscles
0:19
will produce edema particularly in this location
0:22
beneath the metacarpal of the ring finger
0:25
that you may diagnose as tenosynovitis.
0:28
But this is in a bare area, okay.
0:31
This is not in an area
0:33
in which there is a tendency.
0:36
You can see it here in the coronal plane.
0:38
It looks a bit like tenosynovitis.
0:41
It is very common to see this
0:43
in the rock climbers.
0:45
Particularly as they use their ring finger
0:48
and perhaps the ring finger alone
0:51
as they try to climb the rock.
0:53
And that increases the distance
0:55
between the flexor tendons and the third
0:58
and fourth digits and stretches.
1:00
In fact, the lumbrical muscle
1:02
which originates from both of them.
1:05
And so this
1:06
is the characteristic location
1:08
in which you're gonna find this muscle strain.
