Dog-bite injuries are common in the facial and neck areas of pediatric patients on account of their size. The incidence of dog-bite etiology for facial fractures in Mexico is unknown as they are underreported. We present a case of a pediatric patient with facial fractures due to dog-bite injuries. We describe the patient's surgical management with absorbable plates and its aftermath and engage in a literature review of dog-bite facial fractures. The patient demonstrated generally favorable results, with minimal postsurgical sequelae. The use of absorbable plates leads to positive outcomes in pediatric patients with dog-bite-related facial fractures.
由于体型原因,儿童患者的面部和颈部常发生犬咬伤。在墨西哥,面部骨折由犬咬伤引起的发生率尚不清楚,因为相关病例报告不足。我们报告一例因犬咬伤导致面部骨折的儿科患者。我们描述了该患者使用可吸收接骨板的手术治疗及其后续情况,并对犬咬伤致面部骨折的文献进行了综述。患者总体预后良好,术后后遗症极少。在因犬咬伤导致面部骨折的儿科患者中,使用可吸收接骨板可带来积极的治疗效果。
