Abstract:

The distally-based radial forearm fasciosubcutaneous flap is based on the distal perforators of the radial artery. We used it in a particularly difficult case involving loss of soft tissue at the wrist with exposure of tendons and nerves after an operation to section the transverse carpal ligament for carpal tunnel syndrome complicated by a chronic fistula.

Keywords: adipofascial flap; radial artery; distal perforators; wrist defect
