Predatory avians are indispensable and important
elements in the continuity of natural balance. The richness of Turkey in
various natural resources, its geographical location, its location on the
migration route, the abundance of water and 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.
