Reconstruction of Hand Dorsum Defect Using Double Perforators-Based Anterior Interosseous Artery Island Flap: A Case Report and Description of a New Anterior Interosseous Artery Perforator
Abstract:The anterior interosseous artery (AIA) perforator flap is not commonly used in hand dorsum reconstruction compared to alternatives. However, it is a versatile flap with several advantages. Literature on the AIA perforator flap is based on the dorsal septocutaneous branch (DSB), which branches from the AIA and passes through fascia between the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) muscles. In the described case, the authors reconstructed a hand dorsum defect in a 78-year-old man usin… Show more
