The authors are presenting a case of a 14-year-old boy who had an electric shock at home and had continuous pain in his left wrist before presenting to us. He has sustained both distal radius and ulna uni-cortical break which were treated non-operatively. Household low-voltage electrical injuries resulting in fractures due to tetany are very uncommon. Having a uni-cortical break at both the distal radius and ulna with ventromedial displacement makes it unique, as it has never been reported. It is extremely important for the clinicians who are involved in electrical injury patient care to be suspicious about fractures associated with electrical injuries and should be looking at cues carefully for fractures even without a history of falls.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jwas.jwas_115_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T06:00:21Z","timestamp":1770357621000},"page":"103-105","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Atraumatic
