DISCUSSION

The options of elbow coverage with pedicled flaps are numerous, given the rich collateral circulation of the arm and forearm. Lateral forearm flap is based in an anterior division of the posterior radial colateral artery at the epicondyle, that runs over the brachioradialis muscle vascularizing the forearm skin for 15 cm in an adult. We chose it in this case for its easy design, length, hight vascularitation and low morbidity (1), ( 3), (4).
