title: Anatomical demonstration of the nerve-supply to the flexor tendon.
abstract: A dissection of four unembalmed human fingers demonstrated a branch from the digital nerve which enters the flexor tendon sheath at the same place as the transverse branch of the digital artery. We conclude that this branch supplies the nerve fibres found within the vinculum.
