[Dog bite injuries with foreign body incorporation].
Dog-bite injuries represent a significant proportion of those injuries seen in a casualty department. Aside from primary wound management and determining the patient's vaccination status, X-ray examination is always indicated because of the possibility of foreign body inclusion as well as fractures. Plain X-ray views will reveal 88% of these foreign bodies. Our case involves a patient seeking workmen's compensation for a dog-bite injury and foreign body inclusion. Following removal of the foreign body, the patient was without symptoms and returned to his previous work.
