[Bite injuries to the hand and their special status in trauma surgery].
Animal bites as well as human bites of the hand have an outstanding position in traumatology care because of their high rate of complications compared with bite wounds at other localisations. The authors report about the results of 128 patients with animal or human bite wounds of the hand treated at the University Hospital for Traumatology in Vienna from 1988 to 1992.
