Hands are an integral part of our lives. However, if the balance of functional-anatomical components of the hand is impaired,
what can be affected is not only their development, but also the psychosocial development of the individual itself. The present
case report deals with electrical injury in a toddler in whom the current flow resulted in deep burns in the fingers and palm of
the left hand, a facial burn, and a short episode of unconsciousness. The article describes acute treatment as well as subsequent
therapy, rehabilitation care, and complications that developed during the course of treatment.
