Abstract
The traditional radial forearm flap derives its blood supply from perf orators of the radial artery. This report describes an anatomic anomal y in which the flap was supplied solely by perforators of the ulnar ar tery. Knowledge of this previously undescribed variation might have re levance when a radial forearm flap is raised.
