The diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries in birds share similar diagnostic modalities, principles of wound healing and methods of fracture stabilization with the approaches used in mammalian medicine. It is important to remember these fundamental principles when approaching such injuries in birds. This chapter covers initial assessment, diagnosis of musculoskeletal injury to the limbs, treatment principles and techniques, postoperative care and rehabilitation of both wing and leg trauma. Case examples: Harrier Hawk with fractured wing; Brown Kiwi with fractured tibiotarsus; New Zealand Wood Pigeon with a fractured coracoid and clavicle. The chapter also includes two video clips. |
