Based upon results of the complex topographical anatomical research fulfilled on 68 upper extremities the forearm area is considered as a single donor zone for the formation of composite cutaneous flaps on the vascular pedicle good for both microsurgical autotransplantation and replacement in the form of islands on the proximal and distal vascular pedicles. Individual differences in the structure and topography of vascular-nervous formations of the forearm are presented as well as a rational technique of the formation of tissue flaps developed with special reference to them.
