Özet
The injuries resulting from Human bite are rarely seen in the clinical practice. It accounts for approximately 0.1% of injuries
presenting to emergency service (1), and for about 2% of all bite wounds (2). Human bite injuries happens usually during fights and
rarely occurs accidentally during sports activityes. If neglected, human bites can cause serious infective complications due to the
high concentration of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Wound dressing and oral antibiotics for the treatment of human bite is not
an adequate method of treatment; Wound exploration, extensive debridement and adequate wash should be considered under
operative condition followed by broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics therapy. In this presentation we aimed to present a case
of phalanx fracture after a human bite who received treatment for acute osteomyelitis.
