Study of the tendinous vascularization for the compound radial forearm flap plus flexor carpi radialis tendon

Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the tendinous vascularization of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) and investigate the anatomical basis for harvesting the compound radial forearm flap (free or pedicled) with the vascularized tendon for the reconstruction of cutaneotendinous defects.
