Electrical injury results in serious damage or amputation of the upper extremity in a significant percentage of survivors. Fourteen of sixteen patients with electrical injuries followed over a two and a half year period had major hand wounds. Careful wound assessment, management, and closure combined with appropriate reconstructive technics now available provide the greatest potential for restoration of satisfactory quality of life. Because these injuries are often of an industrial nature, occupational vigilance and prevention remain essential.
在相当比例的电损伤幸存者中，会导致上肢严重损伤或截肢。在两年半时间里随访的16例电损伤患者中，有14例手部有严重伤口。目前，仔细的伤口评估、处理和缝合，再结合适当的重建技术，为恢复令人满意的生活质量提供了最大的可能性。由于这些损伤往往具有工业性质，职业警觉和预防仍然至关重要。
