title: [Treatment of tissue defects of the posterior aspect of the elbow].
abstract: Coverage of soft tissue defects of the posterior region of the elbow can be a difficult problem. The different techniques described are reviewed, focusing on the lateral arm flap of Maruyama. Ten cadaver studies were performed to confirm the reliability of this flap, a first choice for the authors. It was used successfully in 5 clinical cases.
