摘要
The vascular anatomy of the pronator quadratus muscle and distal radius was studied in 24 cadaveric forearms by dissection under magnification and india ink and latex injection studies. The anterior interosseous artery divides into a muscular branch and a dorsal branch 1 cm to 3.5 cm from the proximal margin of the pronator quadratus muscle, and on its deep surface. Injection studies showed a rich periosteal plexus contributed by the anterior interosseous artery. Retrograde injection through the dorsal branch also showed good perfusion of the distal radius that was confirmed microscopically on bone sections. A muscle-bone graft from the anteromedial cortex of distal radius with an intact anterior interosseous artery has mobility of less than 2 cm. After ligating and dividing the anterior interosseous artery, blood supply to the distal radius bone flap relies on a retrograde flow and the bone flap could then be mobilized distally up to 4 to 6 cm. © 1990, American Society for Surgery of the Hand.
