- Discussion:
- Grayson's & Cleland's ligament hold skin in position during flexion and extension of the finger;
- Cleeland's ligaments are firm fascia bands that run from side of phalanges to the skin, dorsal to the neurovascular bundle;
- they are not involved in Dupuytren's dz;
- origin - edge of osseous flexor tendon gutter at PIP jointj
- course - dorsal to neurovascular bundle
- insertion - digital fascia
- function:
- retention of different parts of integument in position, also serving as window through which Retinacular Ligament passes
