Introduction Human bites are notorious due to chance of infection by direct inoculation of pathogens from saliva and must be managed properly. Human bite injuries cause dilemma to the treating doctor regarding its way of management. The options of management are primary closure, delayed closure with skin/tissue grafting and conservative. Case Report                                             A 43 year old male patient with a human bite injury with tissue loss on the tip of nose was admitted in hemodynamically stable condition. He was given tetanus toxoid and anti-rabies vaccination as per current guidelines.  Delayed wound closure was done in 2 steps with forehead flap, in 3 weeks interval. Patient was discharged after suture removal. There was good color matching and no complications. Discussion Human bite injuries are mostly due to inter personal violence, alcohol intoxication and psychiatric illnesses. Multiple instances of such bite injuries have been reported. Delayed closure of bite injuries with forehead flap provides good colour and texture match as well as good flap survival due to rich vascularity.

Bite Injuries

A prospective study has been made of 29 human bite injuries caused by the clenched fist, 27 over M.P. joints and two over P.I.P. joints. All were treated by surgical exploration, within 24 hours in 84% of cases. In 62% the wound had entered the underlying joint and in 58% the bone was injured. Significantly less morbidity was noted in those cases where there was no joint injury (P < 0.001). Early surgical exploration to identify and to treat the joint injury is recommended.
