Abstract

Electrical burns account for a small percentage of total burn injuries yet  most common cause of functional impairement due to burn. Electrical burns mostly affect extremities coming in contact with power lines or lightning strikes. Early treatment of electrical burns reduces the burden of functional impairment of body parts. The aim of research was the use of pedicaledflap and its effectiveness as a treatment modality. The research was conducted during august 2019 and august 2022 in Dept of Burn and Plastic Surgery, GMC Bhopal. Using variables such as gender, age, type of voltage, site of injury, head injury and groin injury was excluded.

 The various pedicle flap included in the study was groin flap an axial pattern flap based on superficial iliac artery.

While evaluating the patient for the research post operative monitoring and follow up was done after 21 days, shickland'scriteria for FDS and FDP was used.

As a result10 patients were treated and taking into consideration various variables, no complete flap necrosis was noted and functional ability was restored in majority of cases and as a result pedicled flap was satisfactory both functionally and aesthetically
