The Arteriovenous Pattern of the Distal Digital SegmentFrom the University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Experimental Surgery Unit, Singapore General Hospital
By injection of eosin dye with latex into 45 cadaveric fingers we were able to demonstrate: (1) a distinct digital pulp arch formed by the ulnar and radial digital arteries over the mid-point of the terminal phalanx in 93% of digits; (2) variations in size of the proper digital arteries to each digit; (3) numerous branches from the pulp arch to the tip of each digit and (4) a constant pattern of dorsal veins over the terminal segment in 89% of digits.
