From: Single incision thenar muscle reconstruction using the free functional pronator quadratus flap
A Skin incision and exploration of the thenar branch. B To prepare the FFPQ, the incision is prolonged to the distal third of the forearm. C The PQ is prepared. * marks the neurovascular bundle of the muscle. D The FFPQ is coopted to the thenar branch with the AIN (Arrow) and blood supply is ensured with end-to-side anastomosis to the radial artery. The inlay of the muscle is then sutured to transversal carpal ligament and radially to the abductor aponeurosis
