Apr 17, 2017 · The dorsal metacarpal veins are frequently cannulated. Cannulation success is determined by several variable anatomic features. The objective of this study is to classify, for the first time, the anatomic variants of the dorsal metacarpal veins. In this cross-sectional study, 520 university students and staff were conveniently recruited.
Latin synonym: Venae metacarpales dorsales. Definition. The dorsal digital veins pass along the sides of the fingers and are joined to one another by oblique communicating branches.
