The lymph drainage of the major joints of the porcine forelimb was subjected to a critical examination. Commercial India ink was injected into the left elbow joint and right shoulder joint of an experimental pig. The shoulder joint was approached craniolaterally, the injection site being at the cranial border of the tendon of insertion of the infraspinatus muscle. The elbow joint was approached from the dorsolateral aspect. A suitable site for intra-articular injection into the elbow joint was found to be within an imaginary triangle formed caudal to the lateral epicondyloid crest of the humerus, the ventral border of the lateral head of the M. triceps brachii, and a line just dorsal to the olecranon. The lymph nodes of the neck and shoulder region were carefully exposed and examined for any discoloration due to the ink. The dissection of the lymph vessels and lymph nodes showed that the Lnn, axillares primae costae drained the elbow and shoulder joint after the intra-articular injection of India ink.
对猪前肢主要关节的淋巴引流进行了严格检查。将商用印度墨汁注入一只实验猪的左肘关节和右肩关节。肩关节从颅外侧入路，注射部位位于冈下肌止腱的颅侧边界。肘关节从背外侧入路。发现向肘关节内注射的合适部位是在一个假想三角形内，该三角形位于肱骨外侧髁嵴尾侧、肱三头肌外侧头腹侧边界以及鹰嘴正背侧的一条线所围成的区域。仔细暴露并检查颈部和肩部区域的淋巴结，查看是否有因墨汁而出现的变色。淋巴管和淋巴结的解剖显示，在关节内注射印度墨汁后，第一肋腋淋巴结引流肘关节和肩关节。
