Patients requiring an ORFFF underwent harvest of half of the diaphyseal diameter of the radius with prophylactic plating performed by hand surgeons. Donor-site outcomes including infection, skin graft loss, tendon exposure, neuropathy, radius fracture, hardware complications, and need for additional donor-site surgery were compared.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003In this study, 25 patients underwent ORFFF harvest, and 52 underwent FRFFF harvest. There was one radius fracture occurring in association with a hardware infection requiring reoperation. No fractures or other major donor-site complications were seen in the FRFFF group. Similar rates of minor complications were noted with skin graft take less than 50% in 4% (n\u2009=\u20091) and 8% (n\u2009=\u20094) with ORFFF and FRFFF, respectively, and tendon exposure in 8% (n\u2009=\u20092) and 15% (n\u2009=\u20098) with ORFFF and FRFFF, respectively. No soft tissue infections or sensory neuropathies were seen. Mean follow-up was 14.2 months for the ORFFF group and 11.7 months for the FRFFF group.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The risk of fracture following ORFFF harvest with prophylactic plating is small. Other donor-site complication rates were similar with both flap techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1602740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,11]],"date-time":"2017-05-11T12:47:41Z","timestamp":1494506861000},"page":"544-548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Donor-Site Outcomes for the Osteocutaneous Radial Forearm Free Flap"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Adam","family":"Satteson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"Waltonen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongyu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ethan","family":"Wiesler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Apel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Graves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ellen","family":"Satteson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,10]]},"container-title":["Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1602740.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T11:57:28Z","timestamp":1513684648000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1602740"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"08","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,18]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1602740","relation":{},"ISSN":["0743-684X","1098-8947"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0743-684X","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8947","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,10]]}}}
