In a case report, replantation of a subtotally amputated forearm at the elbow region is described. The elbow joint was reconstructed. At the end of the operation a huge soft tissue defect remained leaving the vein grafts unprotected. Using a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous island flap, the soft tissue defect was covered and the function of the biceps muscle restored.
