title: Landmarks in the anatomical study of the blood supply of the skin.
abstract: The description of fasciocutaneous flaps by Pontén (1981) and the extensive, continuing studies of Cormack and Lamberty (1984) have revived interest in the anatomical study of the blood supply of the skin. It is important to know the results and conclusions of previous investigators. The purpose of this paper is to indicate some of these past achievements.
