[The posterior interosseous flap--review and personal experience].
The posterior interosseous flap was first introduced by Zancolli and Angrigiani (1985) and short time later by Penteado and Masquelet (1986). The flap is used for soft tissue reconstruction in the hand but has not gained wide acceptance due to tedious pedicle dissection and venous problems. In 1993, Angrigiani et al. published a simplified modification in the elevation of the flap. They included a constant fasciocutaneous perforating vessel in the flap to enhance the viability. We applied the modified elevation technique in twelve patients. Our experience, indications, and complications will be discussed. In contrast to Angrigiani's statement, our flaps still show a temporary mild to moderate venous congestion similar to the flaps raised in the original technique.
