Abstract
|
|
|
|
A wild Falco tinnunculus, which is a small raptor, was rescued and presented due to immobilization. Onphysical examination, a left ulnar fracture was detected, which was reduced with an intramedullary (IM) pin and softbandaging. Passive range of motion (PROM) exercises were then conducted to prevent complications such as ankylosis. The raptor was released into the wild four weeks postoperatively. We suggest that IM pinning with bandaging andappropriate PROM exercises may effectively treat ulnar fractures in small raptors.
