ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The elbow defects can raise problem to plastic surgeon. Indeed, this region is characterized by thin and mobile tissues; its reconstruction must be long-lasting, resistant to movements, to shear forces and to external support. Perforator propeller flaps beings appear an interesting option in the reconstruction of elbow defects. In this report, we describe a patient having benefited from the excision of a melanoma of the region of the elbow. After multidisciplinary meeting and resection of new margins, a reconstruction by perforator propeller flap was realized. A perforator pedicle of the lateral brachial region was located and used. The postoperative result in term of cover and function was considered very satisfactory. The perforator propeller flaps appear a reliable and interesting solution in the coverage of elbow defect.Mots clés
