    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Electrical Injury Medicine
    • Occupational Health and Safety

    Background:

    • Underground electric cables pose a significant, often underestimated, hazard.
    • Construction and digging activities in urban areas increase the risk of accidental contact.
    • Previous data on the specific incidence and outcomes of such injuries in London is limited.
