    lol are u alex? eh i cant find much bout this on the internet too, so far-
    extensor expansn of the ext sling in the wing is the primary DFlexor of the MPJ hence it aids in extensn of the digits. hmm ext dig longus? or lumbrical tendons?

    as opposed to the weak flexors of the MPJ (flexor dig. longus and brevis which are mainly flexors of the IPJ) and dorsal interossei which stabilize and PF the MPJ

    lets try find more :p
