Bilateral shoulder fractures secondary to accidental electrical injury.

چکیده
Electrical injuries sometimes cause grave internal lesions that go unnoticed in an initial exploration. Low-tension electrical energy can produce burns of variable depth by flash or conduction, but we rarely find fractures. This case reports a case of bilateral shoulder fractures secondary to low-voltage injury which were undiagnosed in the emergency approach.

In this unique case, we present the first case of this injury resulting from a simple syncope in a 49 year old man with no history of epilepsy. He was fully investigated and no cause was found for his syncope. His shoulder f...

متن کاملBilateral Distal Radius Fractures in a 12-Year-Old Boy after Household Electrical Shock: Case Report and Literature Summary
Background. Fracture resulting from household electric shock is uncommon. When it occurs, it is usually the result of a fall; however, electricity itself can cause sufficient tetany to produce a fracture. We present the case of bilateral fractures of the distal radii of a 12-year-old boy which were sustained after accidental shock. The literature regarding fractures after domestic electric shoc...
متن کاملBilateral Anterior Shoulder Dislocation with Symmetrical Greater Tuberosity Fracture following Seizure
INTRODUCTION Majority of bilateral shoulder dislocations are posterior. Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations and bilateral anterior fracture-dislocations are rare and mostly of traumatic origin. We present a rare case of bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation with symmetrical greater tuberosity fracture following an episode of seizure with an unusual injury mechanism which was...
