The Extensor Zone VII (wrist) contains 6 extensor compartments comprising of 6 synovial sheath lined tunnels separated from each other by fibrous sheath. These compartments contain tendons of muscles that pass from forearm to hand. The number of tendons passing through the compartments (radial to ulnar) can be remembered using the mnemonic: 2-2-1-2-1-1. Compartment 1: APL (Abductor …
