CLINICAL APPLICATION OF THE RADIAL FOREARM FREE FLAP
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
The radial forearm flap has proved to be a reliable and versatile free flap in many areas of reconstructive surgery, especially head, neck and extremity reconstruction. Much of this reliability results from the constant vascular pattern of the forearm and the large size of vessels which greatly simplify the technical aspects of microsurgery. Furthermore, the flap is thin, pliable easily available in variable sizes and can be used as a composite flap with vascularized nerve, bone or tendon.
This paper presents the our clinical experience of 9 patients to whom underwent reconstruction of soft tissue by using free forearm flap.
