Electrical injuries to the upper extremity are far ranging in extent and vary in magnitude. Proper management requires an appreciation for the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic options. Persistent neurologic and psychiatric problems further impact the high incidence of disability in the electrical injury patient. Loss is significant for victims, their families, and employers, in part because of the relative youth of those injured.
