Treating injuries on the shoulder and leg caused by electrical shock using a combination of wound care techniques: A case report.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE

Electrical injuries involve complex tissue damage and varied wound patterns, requiring a deep understanding of their pathophysiology for effective management. They often affect critical areas like the shoulder and leg, complicating treatment and necessitating specialized care plans for optimal healing.

CASE PRESENTATION

We report a 42-year-old male with severe lacerations and tissue damage from a high-voltage power line accident. Immediate intervention included surgical debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and advanced wound care.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

A multidisciplinary team developed a tailored rehabilitation strategy, emphasizing collaborative care's role in successful recovery. The effective closure of wounds and functional restoration highlights the need for specialized approaches in managing electrical injuries.

CONCLUSION

This case underscores the complexities of treating electrical injuries and the importance of a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach for optimal healing and patient outcomes.
