This study presents a modified free ulnar artery forearm flap technique. The modification ensures large-vessel connections and restores ulnar artery flow to the donor hand.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Vascular Surgery
Microsurgery

Background:

Free ulnar artery forearm flaps are valuable for reconstruction.
Ensuring adequate perfusion of the donor hand is crucial post-excision.

Observation:

A novel modification to the standard free ulnar artery forearm flap is detailed.
This technique focuses on the vascular anastomosis and ulnar artery reconstruction.

Findings:

The modified technique facilitates anastomosis of large-calibre vessels.
Reconstruction of the ulnar artery provides reliable perfusion to the donor hand.

Implications:

This approach may enhance the safety and reliability of free ulnar artery forearm flaps.
