ABSTRACT
This paper describes treating high-tension electrical burns of the upper arms by segmental excision of the necrosed humerus. This is a new surgical method of treating local electrical burns. The authors use modification of traditional surgical method, shorten the course of treatment, and preserve the injured limb. However, this surgical method should not be used to treat all high-tension electrical burns of the upper arm, and should be used only under certain conditions. Therefore, it is important to grasp the operative indications.
