Anatomical basis of dorsal forearm flap. Based on posterior interosseous vessels. 1988

P Bayon, and R W Pho
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National University of Singapore.

Injection studies on 35 upper limbs with neoprene latex were carried out and the limbs carefully dissected to observe the vascular contribution of the posterior interosseous branches of the dorsal forearm, the transverse anastomosis between anterior and posterior interosseous vessels and the calibre of the vessel. The findings indicated that a fascio-cutaneous flap based on septocutaneous branches of the posterior interosseous artery can be raised as a reversed forearm flap for resurfacing after skin loss in the hand.

D001158 Arteries The vessels carrying blood away from the heart. Artery
D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
