Introduction The medial head of the triceps brachii flap is already described as a local muscular or as a free flap. It allows coverage of defects of the posterior cubital region. The aim of this study was to describe the vascular anatomy of the musculocutaneous medial triceps brachii pedicled flap. Methods Eleven fresh–frozen upper limbs (6 come from women and 5 from men) were proximally injected with Indian ink agar solution. The medial head of the triceps brachii muscle was dissected and the superior ulnar collateral artery (SUCA) was isolated with its collaterals. The collateral arteries were dissected to determine whether there were septocutaneous or musculocutaneous arteries for vascularization of the skin in front of the medial head. Lengths of those collaterals arteries were measured. Results The average number of collaterals arteries from the SUCA supplying the medial head of the triceps brachii is 4.5 (from 3 to 6 arteries). Among these collaterals’ arteries, there are one average 1.5 (0.6–4.5) septocutaneous arteries and 3 (1–4.8) musculocutaneous arteries. Discussion and conclusion A musculocutaneous flap with the medial head of the triceps brachii muscle can be described with the muscle. The SUCA gives perforator arteries musculocutaneous and septocutaneous for the vascularization of the triceps brachii medial head. The use of local pedicled flap with similar tissue maximizes healing with a minimal morbidity of the donor site. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the medial head triceps brachii musculocutaneous flap to cover defect of the posterior aspect of the elbow.
