Antecubital Fossa Perforator Flaps for Soft-Tissue Defect Repair of the Anterior Elbow: Anatomical Study and Clinical Application.

Background: The antecubital fossa is a main perforator cluster region located beside the anterior elbow defect, rendering it crucial to harvest the perforator pedicled flaps for the anterior elbow defects.

Patients And Methods: A total of 30 preserved cadaveric forearms were dissected in order to describe the perforator anatomy in the antecubital fossa. For each perforator, the number, the site of origin, the diameter at its origin, and the trajectory were recorded.
