ABSTRACT

Introduction: Taurine medicine has been able to open the way to the advance of science and to the adaptation of science to the patient with a bull horn wound so that at present, 95% of patients now survive gorings that were fatal in earlier times. Material and methods: We carried out a retrospective study, utilizing clinical files from the O’Horán General Hospital in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico during January 1999 through November 2000 as a data-base. Results: Fifteen patients, all male, were treated for 26 bull horn goring wounds. The most frequently injuried patients ranged in age from 14-30 years. All patients were received at the Trauma Unit within 12 h of goring; gorings most frequently occurred in the town of Oxtcutzab, with from patients. Eight patients of is were bullfighters, all with different professions outside the bullfighting season; there were six spontaneous gorings, and the remaining patient was a cowboy wounded during work. Wounds of eight patients were closed, seven received open treatment. From time of admittance, all patients were administered a triple antibiotic schema, in addition to anti-tetanic gamma globulin and tetanic toxoid. Discussion: We carried out comparisons with our patient bull horn goring treatments and those published in the Surgical Round, Spanish Surgery, and the Mexican Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology; our results were similian to those found in the international literature.
