According to absent tissue to reconstruct, it can be used as fasiocutaneous, adipofascial or osteocuteneous flap. Donor site morbidity of posterior radial collateral artery perforator flap is inconsiderable and perforator flaps can be used as propellar or V-Y advancement flaps. Conclusion: For repairing soft tissue defects os posterior elbow region. lateral arm flap is a reliable and versatile flap that has several modifications.
