Abstrakt: Five patients with extensive traumatic shoulder and arm defects in whom successful repair with the latissimus dorsi island myocutaneous flap are presented. The ease and speed of elevation of the flap, its wide skin surface, large size, and long pedicle make it an ideal flap for reconstruction of such defects.
