Authors examined the normal flexor tendon/tendon sheat unit of the toes of the hen and in the zone Verdan 2 of the human hand with light and scanning electron microscope. The fine structure of the synovial membrane was studied with special care. It was found, in accordance with some previous literary data, that the morphology of the hen's and human tenosynovium resemble to each other. The structures of the parietal visceral synovial membranes are described and compared, and the mechanism of the secretion of the synovial fluid is discussed. The results of the present investigations may serve, over the description of the normal anatomical relations, as a comparison to other experiments of two-phase tendon transplantations with the formation of pseudo tendon sheats and also for clinical practice.
