| Popis: | Summary The reverse lateral arm flap based on the interosseous recurrent artery was used successfully to reconstruct cubital fossa defects caused by high voltage electric burn in two cases. The flap is nourished by the septocutaneous perforators of the posterior radial collateral artery which anastomoses around the lateral epicondyle with the interosseous recurrent artery. The primary benefits of this flap are that it is an easy and rapid one-stage procedure, with no necessity of sacrificing a main artery or local muscle, and it requires no immobilisation of the involved joint. |
