The Osteocutaneous Pedicle Forearm Flap
View through CrossRef
Two patients treated by an osteocutaneous radial island flap with retrograde blood flow are described. Rotation of the flap and its distal vascular pedicle by nearly 180 degrees caused no impairment of the arterial flow, but it may interfere with the venous return through the radial veins, as observed in one of our cases. Therefore, it is safer to include in the skin flap an additional vein, suturing it to a superficial vein in the recipient zone, thus ensuring normal venous flow to the flap as well. The purpose of this paper is to present two patients treated by the use of an osteocutaneous radial artery forearm flap.
