The small diameter of the anterior interosseous artery (AIA) may make it suitable for end\u2010to\u2010end anastomosis with the SCIA; however, no such cases have been reported to date. We assessed AIA diameter using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and analyzed six cases of SCIP flap transfer to the forearm using the AIA as the recipient vessel.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In 22 patients with traumatic hand or finger skin defects, we measured the diameters of the AIA and radial and ulnar arteries at the forearm center (point A) and distal quarter (point B) using CTA. Six cases of SCIP flap transfer to the forearm using the AIA as the recipient vessel were also analyzed. Defects were located in the distal part of the forearm in four cases, the middle part in one case, and the proximal part in one case, ranging from 5\u2009\u00d7\u200910 to 12\u2009\u00d7\u200916\u2009mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The AIA diameter (1.59\u2009\u00b1\u20090.05\u2009mm at point A; 1.30\u2009\u00b1\u20090.07\u2009mm at point B) was significantly smaller than that of the radial (2.64\u2009\u00b1\u20090.12\u2009mm; 2.53\u2009\u00b1\u20090.10\u2009mm) and ulnar arteries (2.25\u2009\u00b1\u20090.10\u2009mm; 2.25\u2009\u00b1\u20090.09\u2009mm) on CTA (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01).
