Interaction between humans and wild animals has increased in recent times, because of overlap of habitats. A proportion of this interaction is violent. Most of the literature describing the injuries sustained by humans in such contact pertains to the involvement of soft tissues. Trauma to bones and joints is only witnessed when larger animals attack humans. We studied the pattern of orthopaedic injuries over a period of 2 years in a series of 32 cases presenting to our hospital with a history of being attacked by the Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus). This paper also documents the complications and challenges involved in managing these injuries. We suggest that orthopaedic traumatologists need to be prepared to deal with such cases in areas where interaction between humans and large wild animals is manifest.
近年来，由于栖息地的重叠，人类与野生动物之间的互动有所增加。这种互动中有一部分是暴力的。大多数描述人类在这种接触中所受伤害的文献都涉及软组织损伤。只有当大型动物攻击人类时，才会出现骨骼和关节创伤。我们对我院收治的32例有被亚洲黑熊（Ursus thibetanus）攻击史的患者进行了为期2年的骨科损伤模式研究。本文还记录了处理这些损伤所涉及的并发症和挑战。我们建议，在人类与大型野生动物互动明显的地区，骨科创伤专家需要做好处理此类病例的准备。
