Abstract
A 66-year-old man with pain and swelling of the left elbow is presented. The elbow was severely disfigured as a result of a childhood trauma in the Second World War. After 60 years without complaints, he presented with what was initially diagnosed as bursitis. After surgical treatment, a large wound dehiscence occurred. The defect was reconstructed microsurgically using a free-flap of the latissimus dorsi muscle and skin graft. Reconstructive surgery led to a satisfactory functional result.
