Abstract

The neurocutaneous island flap is an axial flap whose arterial vascularization is provided by the vascular plexus and inside the cutaneous nerve. In previous studies we successfully harvested neurocutaneous island flaps in the hand and in the forearm. Here we report on reverse-flow neurocutaneous island flaps for reconstructions in the distal third of the forearm.
