- Abstract
Predatory avians are indispensable and important elements in the continuity of natural balance. The richness of Turkey in various natural resources, its geographical location due to the migration routes, the abundance of water, habitat and the favourable climatic conditions facilitate the life of these animals. Fractures are an important problem in wild avians as well as in pets. Wing and extremity fractures are the most common problems observed in avians. The study material is the fractured extremity cases of 75 predatory wild avians. All 75 cases included in the study were selected from closed extremity fractures. Our treatment protocol involved cage rest, external coaptation and internal fixation. It has been considered that emergency intervention, external coaptation, an adequate time of hospitalization increase the success rate of operative intervention.
