By its internal surface with the tibia. By the externalsurface with the extensor longus digitorum, extensor proprius pollicis,and the anterior tibial vessels and nerve. The Extensor longus digitorum arises from the outer tuberosityof the tibia, from the head and upper thi-ee-fourths of the fibula, fromthe mterosseous membrane, and from the deep fascia. Below, it dividesinto four tendons, which pass beneath the annular ligament, to beinserted into the second and thii-d phalanges of the fom lesser mode of insertion of the extensor tendons, both in the hand andin the foot, is remarkable, each tendon spreads into a broad aponeu-rosis over the first phalanx ; this aponeurosis divides into three slips,the middle one is inserted into the base of the second phalanx, andthe two lateral slips are continued onwards, to b
