Despite various options for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the distal forearm, perforator-based propeller flap is rarely used. Here, we presented 2 cases of distal forearm injuries that were repaired using the recurrent branch of anterior interosseous artery perforator-based propeller flap. Patients in these cases were 57 and 67 years of age. ⋯ Both flaps survived. Except for minor wound dehiscence and hemarthrosis, no other postoperative complications occurred. Patients returned to work or daily activities at 3- and 4-month follow-up after surgery.
