Abstract

|
A common kestrel was admitted to Chungnam wild animal rescue center, having been unable to fly. On the physical examination, the bird was presented with contusion and swelling on its right humerus closed fraction and had pain response. Radiographic examination was explicitly revealed closed fracture on right proximal humerus. Its closed fracture was reduced with tie-in fixator and figure-of-eight tension band, and inserted pins on its right humerus surgery were removed on the 14th day after the surgery. As Falco tinnunculus was able to move its wings from Day 21st day, its rehabilitation was done at outdoor facility and it was successfully released. Proximal humerus reduction with tie-in fixator and the wire was a success, and this treatment with reference to this study will be surely effective to support the other wildbird"s reduction stability.
