Service of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Mother Teresa University Hospital Centre, Tirana, Albania.

A brief description is given of a case involving a man suffering from deep injuries due to the passage of electric current in both arms. Through this description we wish to demonstrate our strategy for the selection of the most appropriate surgical techniques, illustrating this with relevant photos. The formation of thrombi in the brachial arteries obliged us to proceed to bilateral amputation at the level of the forearms. Even though this patient now has no hands, he made a full recovery and leads a normal life.
