Abstract

Acute management of upper extremity thermal and electrical injuries requires an aggressive treatment protocol which combines meticulous wound care, intensive hand therapy, and early stable wound coverage to salvage upper extremity function. Electrical injuries inflict severe deep-tissue destruction that frequently results in major limb amputation.
