Abstract

Presented in this paper are the surgical considerations in the management of 8 electrically injured patients, with special reference to the care for wrist damage associated with impaired blood flow, and the prospect for effective recovery. Sound surgical principles, such as early diagnosis and repair of artery damage, complete débridement of dead tissue, and effective wound closure, in conjunction with intensive general treatment and overall planning, are necessary for maximally rehabilitated limbs. The electrically injured seem to have benefited a great deal from the procedures outlined, with a lowered incidence of amputation and a better functional recovery.
