‘Not a Plastic Surgeon’s best friend: Dog bites an increasing burden on UK Plastic Surgery services’

Injuries from dog bites are increasing in the United Kingdom (UK). Our study aims to highlight the public health burden of dog bites within the United Kingdom, in particular to the plastic and reconstructive surgeon. National data relating to hospital attendances and admissions was obtained from the Health and Social Care Information Database. Data relating to demographics of the patients admitted, the site and nature of the injury and the epidemiology was analysed. A total of 14,010 patients with dog bites were admitted between March 2013 and February 2015 of which 52% were admitted to Plastic and Reconstructive surgery departments.
