  • Title: [Treatment of high-voltage electric injuries of the hand and forearm].
    Author: Teot L, Giovannini UM, Ruello EV, Colonna MR.
    Journal: Ann Ital Chir; 1998; 69(3):317-23. PubMed ID: 9835103.
    Abstract:
    Electric injuries produce deep tissue destruction and in a large number of cases involve the forearm, entering from the hand. The authors report their experience, consisting of 13 cases, with satisfying results, particularly in relation to limb salvage. Salvage procedures, avoiding the amputation and including venous grafts and use of flaps, among which the inguinal flap is mostly used, are considered. Late necrosis occurring under grafted tissues often requires further surgery, including tendon and nerve grafts and scar revisions with skin grafts or flaps.
