[The blood supply of the semitendinosus, gracilis and sartorius muscles and surgical applications (author's transl)].
The vascular pedicles of the semitendinosus, gracilis and sartorius muscles were identified by the authors. Although devascularisation of the tendons is of no importance in plastic operations, any technic using the fleshy part of these muscles should take care to preserve the blood supply. It is therefore important to know their anatomy.
