Abstract
Posterior interosseous flap for resurfacing posttraumatic soft tissue defects of the elbow
Highlights
The posterior interosseous flap described for the first time in 1986 is a pedicle flap of the forearm islet, which can be taken directly or retrograde [1,2]
The posterior interosseous flap was used either with a direct pedicle to cover the filling of the elbow substance with anterograde flow, or with a retrograde pedicle to cover the loss of substance on the dorsal surface of the hand [4]
We began the osteosynthesis of the humerus by the placement of a DCP plate, later by a trans-tricipital approach we discovered a comminuted fracture of the olecranon with dislocation of the radial head and fracture of the external condyle
Summary
The posterior interosseous flap described for the first time in 1986 is a pedicle flap of the forearm islet, which can be taken directly or retrograde [1,2]. It is vascularized by arterioles with cutaneous destinies, in variable number, coming from the posterior interosseous artery [3]. Posterior vascularized interosseous flap at the expense of the posterior pedicle, which gives septal arterioles for the skin covering the entire length of its path.
