The rationale is that there are the vascular plexuses inside and around the sensory nerve that permit surgical splitting of the flap. In the split design, the first segment is supplied by the radial artery itself. The second segment is supplied by the neurocutaneous artery of the medial cutaneous nerve.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSurgeryTissueDefectHandRadial forearm flapIsland flapsAdultFinger injuriesFollow-up studiesForearmHand injuriesHumansInjury severity scoreMaleMuscle, skeletalReconstructive surgical proceduresRecovery of functionRisk factorsSurgical flapsTransplantation, homologousTreatment outcomeWound healingArticle0002277621000092-s2.0-1744436900110911239216019739SurgeryPerforator Flap; Flaps (Control Surfaces); Tibial ArteriesAdultArticleCase reportFinger malformationHand injuryHumanMaleRadial arterySensory nerveSkin blood vesselSkin nerveSplit radial forearm flapSplit thickness skin graftVascularization
