چکیده
A 10 months old male sparrowhawk with open antebrachium fracture was sreferred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Razi University. Radiographic evaluation confirmed both radius and ulna fracture of the bird's wing. Following by debridement and irrigation of the damaged site, external coaptation using splint and bandage with access to food and water for 7 weeks was chosen as treatment protocol. Postoperative monitoring of patient via clinical and radiographic examination showed repair of the fracture within 7 weeks and the bird was able to fly.

متن کاملPaper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
متن کاملThree-dimensional visualisation of the internal anatomy of the sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) forelimb using contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography
BACKGROUND Gross dissection is a widespread method for studying animal anatomy, despite being highly destructive and time-consuming. X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be a non-destructive alternative for studying anatomical structures. However, in the past it has been limited to only being able to visualise mineralised tissues. In recent years, morphologists have started to use t...
متن کاملDifferential nest-defense to perceived danger in urban and rural areas by female Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)
The reaction of wildlife to humans is known to differ with surroundings. In urban environments that provide suitable habitats for breeding birds, animals adapt to humans and their response is accordingly altered. This study examined the nest defense behavior of female Eurasian sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus) during the breeding season in urban and rural areas of Prague. The females showed four d...
