Abstract
The nutrient pathways to the extensor tendon beneath the extensor retinaculum of young adult monkeys was investigated using hydrogen as tracer material. The results indicate that diffusion from the synovium is a more significant nutrient pathway than vascular perfusion from either the mesotendon or the longitudinal intratendinous vascular network.Keywords
