Lower amputation rate after fasciotomy by straight midline incision technique for a 22,900-volt electrical injury to the upper extremities

Injury Oct 04, 2017

Jang YS, et al. - This study was planned to compare the major amputation rate following two different fasciotomy techniques, conventional versus straight midline, in patients with high-voltage arc burn injury by electric currents of 22,900 V to the upper extremities. As per observation, early fasciotomy seemed markedly reducing the major amputation rate after high-voltage arc injury; a midline straight incision in the setting of minimized vascular exposure after fasciotomy could ensure that various types of reconstructive microsurgical procedures and primary skin closures could be used to save limbs.
