Abstract
Correct planning and elevation presupposed, there will be no clinically relevant finding in strength, motion, and hemodynamics in the forearm and hand after free forearm flap transfer. Sensory findings are present after the operation but decrease with wound healing or are nondisturbing. In this study, the patients with tumors judged the aesthetic result in their forearm in most cases as good. They stated a high QOL with regained emotional, cognitive, social, and role functioning, although they perceived symptoms caused by the tumor and therapy.
