Abstract
Closure of the radial forearm flap donor site has been achieved by triangulating the defect and using a full-thickness skin graft from the adjacent volar forearm. Coverage of the flexor carpi radialis tendon has been more robust, and the aesthetic results have been superior to split-thickness skin-graft coverage of the forearm flap donor site.
