摘要
Twenty patients who had had upper limb reconstruction using the lateral arm free microvascular flap are reviewed. The size of the flap, modifications to the flap, and complications were documented. There was one flap failure, and nine flaps required surgical thinning at a second procedure. This sole disadvantage was outweighed in clinical usage by the advantages and versatility of the lateral arm flap.
