Keywords:
electrical burn, hand, skin graftAbstract
An electrical burn is a severe tissue injury that occurs when
an electric current flows through the body, turning it into a
conductor and generating internal heat.
This case report describes a 52-year-old male patient
admitted to the emergency department with an electrical burn
and an Allman type III left clavicle fracture.
A multidisciplinary approach and early rehabilitation are
essential to optimize functional outcomes, reduce
complications, and preserve hand function, which is a key
factor in the patient's quality of life.
