    This study introduces a novel proximally based forearm fasciocutaneous flap for treating difficult periolecranon soft tissue defects. The technique offers enhanced vascularity and sensibility, achieving high success rates in elbow coverage.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Periolecranon soft tissue defects pose significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Standard treatments like skin grafting or secondary intention healing often yield suboptimal results.

    Observation:

    • Cadaver studies were conducted to investigate the vascular anatomy of the periolecranon region.
    • The goal was to identify a local flap suitable for defect coverage.

    Findings:

    • A proximally based forearm fasciocutaneous flap was developed and utilized in 31 patients.
    • This one-stage technique demonstrated a high success rate (30/31 patients) for elbow coverage.
    • The flap offers advantages including enhanced vascularity, sensibility, and ease of elevation.

    Implications:

    • This fasciocutaneous flap represents a valuable advancement in managing periolecranon defects.
    • The technique provides a reliable and effective solution for reconstructive challenges in this anatomical area.
    • Further application of this flap may improve patient outcomes in reconstructive surgery.
