EMBRYOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE TENDINOUS APPARATUS OF THE FINGERS

Relation to Function

EMANUEL B. KAPLAN M.D.1

1 Department of Anatomy, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University

The connection has an important bearing on the function of the fingers, and must be considered in surgical reconstruction in these areas.
