J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2009 Jul;62(7):e211-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bjps.2009.01.065. Epub 2009 Apr 19.

Abstract

We successfully transplanted two free posterior interosseous artery perforator flaps that had been harvested simultaneously from a single posterior interosseous artery system to the index and middle fingers of a 19-year-old man. Our case suggests that multiple free perforator flaps can be prepared from a single posterior interosseous artery system.
