Abstract
An exhaustive anatomic dissection of all of the veins of the finger distal to the proximal interphalangeal joint was done. More than 3200 segments of veins were individually dissected out, measured, and recorded. From this survey new schematic diagrams have been drawn emphasizing the pertinent venous anatomy at the proximal, distal interphalangeal joints and eponychial levels. Suggestions are made for regions that are apt to have the largest vessels available for anastomosis.
