“…This is a constant artery with a diameter of 1 to 1.3 mm passing beneath the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) tendon [ 4 , 15 - 17 ]. The artery runs in an oblique line from the volar to the dorsoulnar surface of the distal forearm [ 15 ]. The artery divides into descending and ascending branches; the latter is responsible for the vascularization of the UAPAF [ 18 , 19 ] which measures up to 5-9 cm in width and 10-20 cm in length [ 15 , 16 , 18 , 19 ].…”
