Lower Limb Section 8 Flexor Digitorum Longus Injection.mp4

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the anatomy and ultrasound-guided injection technique of the flexor digitorum longus muscle. The muscle originates at the tibia and inserts at the base of the distal phalanx of the four lateral toes. It is innervated by the tibial nerve and its primary function is to flex the distal phalanx of the lateral four toes. The injection is performed in the prone position, and ultrasound is used to guide the needle insertion and confirm proper positioning within the muscle. Botulinum toxin is then injected into the muscle before the needle is withdrawn.
