ABSTRACT

The anatomy of the lateral arm flap is further elucidated, and the surgical techniques involved in raising the flap are described in detail. The data are derived from studies in 25 cadavers and five clinical cases. The relative merits of this versatile free flap are discussed. Three clinical cases are cited for illustration.
