Abstract
Symptomatic forearm hernias are troublesome conditions infrequently presented in the literature. We describe a novel approach using cadaveric acellular dermal matrix in an inlay technique to restore fascia integrity. In 2 patients who perform heavy labor, this technique resolved their hernia-related symptoms and allowed them to resume work activities.
