“…Elliot et al (1988) reported the direct closure method for donor-site defects of the radial forearm flap using the V-Y flap, and several modifications have been reported based on their methods. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] However, partial skin necrosis sometimes occurs along the lateral side of the flap even though the perforators from ulnar artery are preserved well, and this necrosis leaves ugly wide scarring on patients' forearms (►Fig. 1).…”

“…17 El principal inconveniente del colgajo libre radial radica en la necesidad de un injerto parcial de piel para el cierre de la zona donante con la deformidad estética y el retraso de curación que puede implicar, aunque para evitarlo se pueden utilizar colgajos musculares y expansores tisulares. 18,19 Otros colgajos libres que podrían utilizarse para la reconstrucción cutánea de estos defectos son el lateral de brazo y los colgajos musculocutáneos como el recto abdominal o el lateral de muslo cuyos inconvenientes son el exceso de volumen aportado debido a la masa muscular, salvo que se tomen como colgajos perforantes.…”

“…17 The main inconvenience of the radial forearm free flap lies in the need for a partial skin graft for closing the donor area, which results in aesthetic deformity and a delay in healing, although muscle flaps and tissue expanders can be used in order to avoid this. 18,19 Other 25 lo que proporciona a la cara un músculo nuevo y vascularizado, que puede producir tracción en direcciones diversas según la orientación y si se anastomosa al nervio facial, proveer una animación y expresión más natural.…”

“…These include turning over and oversewing the muscle bellies of the flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorium superficialis to bury the flexor carpi radialis tendon and improve the take of the split thickness skin graft, (31) using longer periods of splint immobilization with hand extension to increase the contact surface of the skin graft with the musculature, (32) and using tissue expanders. (33) Lutz et al performed a suprafascial dissection on 95 consecutive cases when harvesting the radial forearm flap and achieved better skin graft success over the donor site.…”
