Moreover, arterialized neurovenous flaps (ANVFs) have multiple potential advantages over traditional nerve flaps in this context. This paper describes a case of reconstruction of a long defect of the ulnar artery and nerve with an arterialized neurovenous free flap and presents a literature review on this subject. A 16\u2010year\u2010old boy sustained a stab wound injury to the medial aspect of the distal third of his right forearm. The patient was initially observed and treated at another institution where the patient was diagnosed with a flexor carpis ulnaris muscle and an ulnar artery section. The artery was ligated and the muscle was sutured. Four months later, the patient was referred to our institution with complaints of ulnar nerve damage, as well as hand pain and cold intolerance. Physical examination and ancillary tests supported the diagnosis of ulnar artery and nerve complete section. Surgery revealed an 8\u00a0cm hiatus of the ulnar artery and a 5\u00a0cm defect of the ulnar nerve. These gaps were bridged with a flow through ANVF containing the sural nerve and the lesser saphenous vein. The postoperative course was uneventful. Two years postoperatively, the patient had regained normal trophism and M5 strength in all previously paralyzed muscles according to the Medical Research Council Scale. Thermography revealed good perfusion in the right ulnar angiosome. The ANVF may be an expedite, safe and efficient option to reconstruct a long ulnar nerve and artery defect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.30265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,2]],"date-time":"2017-11-02T07:57:52Z","timestamp":1509609472000},"page":"209-217","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Reconstruction of a long defect of the ulnar artery and nerve with an arterialized neurovenous free flap in a teenager: A case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5537-9340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo","family":"Casal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and Burn Unit Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"Anatomy Department, NOVA Medical School Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diogo","family":"Pais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and Burn Unit Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"Anatomy Department, NOVA Medical School Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduarda","family":"Mota\u2010Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Department, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia LIBPhys Caparica Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Pelliccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and Burn Unit Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"Anatomy Department, NOVA Medical School Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Iria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology Unit|Drug Discovery Area; Faculdade de Farm\u00e1cia Universidade de Lisboa Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paula A.","family":"Videira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCIBIO, Life Sciences Department, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Caparica Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Manuel","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and Burn Unit Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Goyri\u2010O'Neill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy Department, NOVA Medical School Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Manuel","family":"Mouzinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and Burn Unit Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central Lisbon Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17453679008993065"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"75","volume-title":"Nerve surgery","author":"Boyd K.
