title: Island forearm flap for coverage of the antecubital fossa.
abstract: Skin and soft tissue defects of the antecubital fossa may present problems in reconstruction. Two cases are presented in which radial forearm flaps with a proximal vascular leash are used to cover such defects without the need for microsurgical expertise. The use of local tissues made early mobilisation and rehabilitation easy.
