Electrical injuries due to high voltage are not frequent but can cause a high mortality rate. To save the person, surgical amputation is the preferred treatment for this condition. This article suggests a new mechanism, i.e., electrocution-induced amputation, called electro-amputation.
High-voltage electrical injuries can lead to extensive necrosis, subsequent tissue loss, severe damage to underlying structures (muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and bones), and burns into ashes, resulting in electric current-induced amputations, i.e., electro-amputation with visible dry bones.
