Abstract

The present paper reported 15 cases, in which skin and fascia forearm island flap with posterior interosseous artery pedicle was applied. It was found that this flap has the advantages of stable vessels, abundance in blood supply and good circulation, without sacrificing the main arteries of the forearm. As a result, it is an ideal method for repair and reconstruction of the hand and forearm.
