Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Electrical Injury Medicine

Background:

  • Scapular fractures are uncommon skeletal injuries.
  • Direct trauma is the usual cause of scapular fractures.
  • Electrical injuries typically cause burns and systemic effects.

Observation:

  • A rare case of scapular fracture directly caused by electric shock is presented.
  • The injury mechanism involved high-voltage electrical current exposure.
  • Clinical and radiological findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • The literature review confirms the rarity of scapular fractures from electric shock.
  • Analysis of similar cases suggests specific injury patterns.
  • Understanding the biomechanics of electrical injury is crucial.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of potential orthopedic injuries from electrical trauma.
  • It highlights the need for thorough evaluation in patients with high-voltage exposure.
  • Further research into electrical injury biomechanics is warranted.
