Abstract
A reversed radial forearm fascial flap has been used as a vascularized tube through which tendon grafts may glide and in which nerve grafts may rest. It may have applications in the treatment of the severely damaged flexor system at wrist level. A further advantage of this technique is that it does not [corrected] sacrifice the radial artery in an already injured hand.
