“…However, perforator flaps offer cutaneous cover only. The use of muscular flaps 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,15,16 has been previously performed and showed restrictions because of the large volume of muscle transferred and the vector in a single direction. The greatest challenges for reconstruction of this area are the complex defects involving muscle and skin.…”

The authors present a case of free microsurgical transfer of combined flexor carpi radialis muscle and radial fasciocutaneous forearm flap in reconstruction of facial paralysis associated with severe ipsilateral skin scar deformity after removal of a giant cavernous hemangioma 22 years previously. The flexor carpi radialis muscle was used to reanimate the paralyzed face, and its fasciocutaneous radial forearm part restored overlying hemifacial skin, with good functional and rather pleasing aesthetic results. The follow-up period was 5 years.
