title: Injection-corrosion-lavage. Techniques for study and description of vascular anatomy in the hand.
abstract: The venous anatomy of the human hand has not been accurately described. Two main reasons for this deficiency in our knowledge are apparent: technical difficulties involved with dissection and imaging of the vessels, and the seemingly limitless number of topographic patterns in this field. This paper introduces firstly, a method for injection and corrosion of hand specimens, and secondly, a routine for describing the venous anatomy, primarily based on their function, and only secondarily on their position or topography.
