[Plastination histologic investigations on the inserting pars terminalis aponeurosis dorsalis of three-sectioned fingers].
With the help of thick transparent cross-sections of fingers, manufactured by plastination histology, it has been shown that fibres of the extensor aponeurosis insert not only the way described in current textbook on the basis phalangis distalis and on the capsule of the distal interphalangeal joint. Our studies prove that parts of the dorsal extension plate insert dorsally to the nail matrix and others run over the edge of the basis phalangis to the proximal part of the diaphysis where they intermingle with the periost of the phalanx.
