INTRODUCTION

Severe traumatism of the elbow frecuently involve nervous structures, specially ulnar nerve. Reconstruction of this anatomic area is possible due to fasciocutaneous flap based in anastomosis which are produced at the epicondyle and epitroclea level betwwen recurrent antebrachial vessels and cutaneous-septocutaneous arteries in the arm. Lateral arm flap is based in colateral radial posterior artery, which divides at the epicondyle area in anterior and posterior branches. Anterior division runs over the brachioradialis muscle for 15 cm and is the pedicle of the lateral forearm flap.

The authors present a case of 11 year-old, female, that suffers a serious injury at the medial side of the elbow with a lawnmover and is reconstructed with this flap.(2).
