The blood supply of the flexor and extensor tendons of the fingers is described. The blood-vascular system consists of main feeding channels which supply a longitudinal network of vessels. These lie in the interfascicular connective tissue. A variation of the typical intratendinous vascular pattern in relation to the proximal interphalangeal joint is described.
