How Complicated a Complicated Case Can Become?

Work-related accidents have a great spread worldwide. The incidence of crush syndrome is 2-15% in all trauma patients and in many cases may lead to trauma related amputation. This type of patients are at risk of developing cardio-vascular instability, renal failure, other organ failure and metabolic abnormalities. The treatment is complex and should prevent and treat all the complications. In the present paper we reported a case of work related injury which lead to the above-knee amputation, followed by severe complication and difficult social rehabilitation. In this particularly cases, when you think that the fight is almost over, a new organ failure may occur and threaten the life of the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
