[Vascular supply of the free fasciocutaneous forearm flap--an anatomical study].

: The vascular supply of the forearm skin--especially of the ventral antebrachial region--was investigated by means of selective angiographies and intravascular dye injections in 43 upper extremities of corpses. Besides the definition of the interesting supply regions assertions were made about the kind and the character of the angioarchitecture as well as recommendations for the flap planning and other clinical references.
