title: The radial forearm flap. A report of two cases with antegrade and retrograde arterial and venous flow.
abstract: The utility of the radial forearm flap is demonstrated by presenting the flap in two variations, as a free flap and as a reversed pedicled flap. The recipient areas were a large temporo-frontal defect remaining after tumor excision which included the periosteum and a radionecrosis on the radial side of the wrist where a conventional flap had failed.
