These tendons are responsible for straightening the fingers and are located on the back of the hand. Anomalies can include tendon rupture, tendonitis, and trigger finger. Treatment for these conditions may include rest, splinting, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.

The symptoms of extensor tendons of finger anomalies can include:

-Pain and tenderness in the affected finger
