title: [Retrograde or orthograde anatomic perfusion of the free forearm flap?].
abstract: The free forearm flap is ideal for vascularized tissue transfer because of its large vessels and multiple nerve supply. In the case presented a distally based forearm flap on a long vascular pedicle was employed relying on a reversed blood flow. Unfortunately the reversed venous flow did not develop and therefore in order to provide a venous drainage an autologous vein graft was used.
