High voltage electrical injuries to limbs are difficult to manage, often leading to amputation. This case highlights a severe outcome: bilateral shoulder disarticulation following electrical burns to both upper limbs.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Electrical Injury Management
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Context:

  • High voltage electrical injuries pose significant challenges in limb management.
  • Tissue damage from electrical burns can render repair interventions ineffective.
  • Amputation is frequently the unavoidable outcome for severe limb injuries.

Purpose:

  • To report a rare and severe case of bilateral shoulder disarticulation resulting from high voltage electrical injury.
  • To illustrate the catastrophic consequences of electrical burns to both upper limbs.
  • To emphasize the critical nature of managing high-energy trauma.

Summary:

  • A young patient sustained high voltage electrical injuries to both upper limbs.
  • The injury resulted in severe tissue damage and necrosis.

  • The patient ultimately required bilateral shoulder disarticulation due to the extent of the damage.

    • Impact:

    • This case underscores the devastating potential of high voltage electrical injuries.
    • It highlights the limitations of reconstructive surgery in extreme cases.
    • It emphasizes the need for specialized trauma care protocols for electrical burns.
