title: Deep venous anatomy of the human palm.
abstract: The anatomy of the deep veins of the human palm was studied in a series of dissections on 12 fresh cadaver specimens after injection of a polymerizing plastic compound into the vascular tree. Using measures of function rather than position in the hand as criteria for the classification of the vessels, six venous types were identified and characterized: arborized, arches, deep axial, web space, perforating, and synovial.
