The results concerning morbidity of the fasciocutaneous radial forearm flap donor site of 20 patients are presented. The review was carried out with an average time of 4.4 years after raising the flaps, ranging from ten months to eleven years. Range of motion of the wrist joint was limited in extension in two patients with 15 degrees and in one patient with 30 degrees. Pinch and grip strength was found normal in 13 patients and was limited in five cases to 88% of the strength of the opposite limb. Dysesthetic areas were found in three patients on the radial border of the donor site and reduced sensation of the radial nerve was present in four patients.
