ABSTRACT
This paper reports the authors' experience with the use of distally-based forearm flaps as flow-through flaps for revascularization of distal parts of the hand, by simultaneous coverage of traumatic soft-tissue defects. Two clinical cases are presented and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
