Abstract: Objective: To explore the repair method of maxilla and palate defects by folding radialis forearm free flaps. Method: The clinical data of 4 cases of the folding radialis forearm free flaps for instant maxilla and palate reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed. Result: All the forearm free flaps were well healed. The oral cavity was completely parted from the nasal cavity, which helped to maintain adequate phonation and swallowing function. The outline form of the face and palate was satisfactorily restored. Conclusion: The folding radialis forearm free flap is effective and it is the first choice in repairing maxilla and palate defects.

Key words: Forearm flap, Reconstruction, Defect
