Our April cohort is moving into extensor tendon injuries. We begin with the anatomy and kinematics of the extensor aponeurosis, introducing complex concepts in simplified ways so clinicians can appreciate the significance of this structure. As learners re-familiarize themselves and deepen their understanding of its mechanics, we scaffold their knowledge toward higher levels of insight and critical thinking skills. This reel offers one simplified explanation as an entry point—but the process does
