One-stage elbow interposition arthroplasty with a fasciocutaneous distally planned lateral arm flap.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of severe posttraumatic ankylosis of the elbow with chronic osteomyelitis of the lateral condyle of the humerus. The triple problem of restoring elbow mobility, providing for coverage, and controlling infection was treated in a one-stage procedure. A distally planned fasciocutaneous lateral arm flap was used for elbow interposition arthroplasty. Clinical examination at 27 months showed restoration of a useful range of elbow motion and good pain relief.

Fasciocutaneous flaps can be used to meet this challenge. Two common fasciocutaneous flaps used in this context are the reverse sural flap and lateral supramalleolar flap (LSMF). Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are relatively unfamiliar with the seco...
