- Abstract
The article focuses on the diagnostic study on a patient suffering from electrocution wounds. According to the medical record, this patient is employed in a construction firm where a falling high-voltage cable hits the patient's back. The physicians discover an osteomyelitis in the right scapula of the patient. Bone scanning and autograft operations including positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET-CT) are effective alternative for the patient's electrical burns treatment.
