Abstract

The complications of radial forearm flap donor sites in 15 patients from two centres have been reviewed. The complications included skin graft failure, swelling of the hand, stiffness of joints, reduced strength and sensation, cold-induced symptoms and fractures of the radius. Methods to reduce the incidence of such complications are discussed.
