A musculocutaneous flap with the medial head of the triceps brachii muscle can be described with the muscle. The SUCA gives perforator arteries musculocutaneous and septocutaneous for the vascularization of the triceps brachii medial head. The use of local pedicled flap with similar tissue maximizes healing with a minimal morbidity of the donor site. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the medial head triceps brachii musculocutaneous flap to cover defect of the posterior aspect of the elbow.
