The Arterialized Antebrachial Skin Flap for Hand Reconstruction

Abstract: The authors present 20 microvascular flaps based on arteriovenous perfusion, harvested from the distal anterior forearm, and configured in three different designs. Indications were small palmar, dorsal, and commissural defects, when other conventional procedures were not available; problematic cases of open reduction internal fixation with skin defect; and when aggressive rehabilitation was needed. The follow-up varied between 6 and 28 months. Some degree of vascular congestion was observed in 100 percent of t… Show more

“…A branch of the superficial radial nerve is usually included in the flap and allows restoration of sensation at the recipient site by coaptation to the proper digital nerve. The indications for these types of small free flaps are rare, because in most clinical situations, a local flap would be the first choice (7,13,16,17,33,37,49).…”

“…10 On the basis of our clinical and laboratory experience, establishing a classification of the way in which the efferent phase is constructed has been found to be both useful and descriptive. 11 Consensus on the clinical use of the flap has not been reached. We indicated its use for reconstruction of palm and commissural defects, and even in certain cases of osteosynthesis, in which any other type or regional covering was not considered safe.…”
