Distally Based Pedicled Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Muscle Flap: An Anatomical Study and Clinical Application

Abstract

The use of a distally based FCU muscle flap is a good option for soft tissue coverage of the distal forearm, wrist, and hand. The distal muscular perforators from the ulnar artery exhibit a relatively consistent anatomy.

“…[3] In the initial stages, the deformity is corrected by passive stretching exercises, if the deformity is progressive and cannot be treated with treatment, a surgical procedure will be undergone with correction by pronation osteotomy. [4] Ulnar deviation is due to an imbalance between weak radial deviators (extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris) and is generally treated with surgical procedures i.e., transferring flexor carpi ulnaris. [5] The only static splint used for OBPI is long arm splints, which are used in various settings for the immobilization of both bony and soft tissue injuries to the upper extremities.…”
