Résumé
Skin defects of the elbow follow severe trauma or bone exposure after skin necrosis, osteitis, or management of infected pseudarthrosis. The orthopedic and plastic management of these lesions is fundamental. The authors describe the different clinical frameworks that can lead to bone and/or joint exposure. Before, during or at a distance from bone management (external fixation, internal fixation, temporary cementoplasty, bone graft…), they detail the surgical techniques aimed at covering skin defects of the elbow. The authors review simple skin replacement techniques such as Z-plasties, emphasizing the interest of pedicled flaps of the arm and forearm, as well as muscle or fascio-cutaneous flaps, which are able to cover almost all the elbow skin defects.
