Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • The fascial plexus of the forearm is crucial for skin vascularization.
  • Understanding its vascular supply is key for reconstructive surgery.

Observation:

  • The posterior interosseous vessels significantly contribute to the forearm's fascial plexus.
  • Twenty-two dissection studies confirmed this vascular anatomy.

Findings:

  • A distally based island fasciocutaneous flap utilizes this vascular supply.
  • This flap design demonstrates a reliable vascular basis.

Implications:

  • This flap is effective for covering soft tissue defects in the hand.
  • Clinical cases illustrate the successful application of this flap technique.
