Abstract

Electrical burns constitute 3–5% of all burn cases; in developing countries, this ratio increases  up to 21–27% and the mortality rate is reported to be between 3.75% and 58.8%. Most of the acute  burns are life threatening initially requires resuscitation and require various types of surgical  interventions such as eschar excision or split-thickness skin grafting, depending on the size,  location and depth of the lesion. In this case we will assess the role of bone–abrasion of the in the  scalp electrical burns involving up to the scalp bone. The Bone-abrasion is a procedure that can  be utilized in wound bed preparation especially in scalp electrical burns.
