Abstract
ABSTRACT
High-voltage electrical injuries pose unique challenges. Here, we report a complicated third-degree bilateral hand and forearm high-voltage burn injury that underwent reconstruction with several free flaps and a pedicled flap to salvage the upper extremity. Maximum efforts to save an extremity and lengthen an amputation stump should be given to patients with high-voltage electric injuries.
