Abstract
Musculoskeletal injuries following low voltage
electrocution are extremely rare. We present the caseof a 54-year-old
gentleman who had an accident while working with 240-volt live
wires. The absence of any associated trauma should not rule out
the presence of scapular fractures in such cases.
Key words
Bilateral scapular fractures; low voltage electricity;
electrocution..
