Abstract
Anatomy of the flexor tendons is important for the treatment and prognosis of flexor tendon injuries. It is imperative to have a good knowledge of the structure of the tendons in relation to the pathogenesis of injuries and repair, and in particular their blood supply. The extrinsic flexor tendons of the fingers and the thumb have fibrous sheaths and a system of pulleys to apply and conduct the tendons to the polyarticular chain on which they work. Slipping of the tendons and their vascularisation is facilitated by the synovial sheaths, mesotendons and vincula tendinums.
