Abstract

The retrograde radial fascial forearm flap may be used to provide appropriate tissue coverage for nerve, tendon, or soft tissue defects in the forearm and hand. The procedure is differentiated from the standard radial forearm flap in that the radial artery remains intact when the retrograde radial fascial flap is designed. The rationale, technique, and clinical application of the flap are presented in order to allow surgeons to maintain the radial arterial trunk in continuity while obtaining the advantage of appropriate soft tissue cover in this critical area.
