Abstract

A radial fascial flap has been described as a valuable and versatile option to provide appropriate tissue coverage of tendons, nerves, and soft tissues in the forearm and hand. We report the use of this distally based radial forearm fascia-fat flap to create a fascial tube to treat recurrent de Quervain's tendonitis.
