Abstract
The authors describe a new design for a reverse-flow radial forearm flap. A total thumb amputation by severe avulsion was salvaged by microsurgical replantation and a reverse-flow radial forearm flap with a modified design to allow repair of two separate hand defects concomitantly. This newly described flap design for the reverse radial forearm flap offers a refined technique for simultaneous reconstruction of multiple defects in the hand.
