[Amputation below the elbow made possible by emergency covering of the stump with a free parascapular flap].
The extent of the damage in a case of complex trauma of the upper limb required amputation. After debridment cleaning, there was not enough soft tissue to cover a stump below the elbow. The joint was saved by amputating below the elbow and covering during the same operation with a free parascapular flap.
