Long-term sequelae of electrical injury.

Objective: To summarize the current evidence-based knowledge about the long-term sequelae of injuries from electrical current.

Quality Of Evidence: MEDLINE was searched for English-language articles published in the past 20 years using the following search terms: electrical, injuries, wound, trauma, accident, sequelae, long-term, follow-up, and aftereffects. For obvious reasons, it is unethical to randomly study electrical injury in controlled clinical trials.
