AbstractA patient with electrical injury to both upper extremities which necessitated amputation above the elbow on both sides is presented. Further débridement on the stumps resulted in extensive exposure of bone with little coverage by skin and granulation tissue. Adequate coverage and maintenance of the length of both stumps was possible with bilateral myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flaps. This enabled the patient to carry out various activities and to wear a prosthesis.
