2021
Skin flaps are eligible methods of wound closure in large cutaneous defects. The aim of the present study is to report the use of lateral thoracic axial pattern flap to repair an elbow wound secondary to a neoplasm resection. A 10-year-old male dog weighing 12 kg was presented with a large soft tissue neoplasm in the medial aspect of the elbow. The patient underwent surgical resection of the neoplasm using the lateral toracic cutaneous flap to achieve a complete defect closure, resulting in an excellent postoperative wound healing without suture failure or skin flap necrosis. In conclusion the lateral thoracic axial pattern flap can be used to repair elbow wounds with satisfactory functional and cosmesis results
