M. Akyurek et al., Coverage of a thumb wound and correction of a first web space contracture using a longitudinally split reverse radial forearm flap, ANN PL SURG, 47(4), 2001, pp. 453-457
The authors describe a new design for a reverse-flow radial forearm flap. A
total thumb amputation by severe avulsion was salvaged by microsurgical re
plantation and a reverse-flow radial forearm flap with a modified design to
allow repair of two separate hand defects concomitantly. This newly descri
bed flap design for the reverse radial forearm flap offers a refined techni
que for simultaneous reconstruction of multiple defects in the hand.
