Interlocking nail for tibiotarsal fracture repair in a black swan (Cygnus atratus) - a case report
The effifi cacy of interlocking nail repair of a tibiotarsal fracture in a black swan (Cygnus atratus) is described. A one year old, 3.70 kg black swan presented with a closed, spiral, midshaft, AO 42-A1, Winquist- Hansen type-0, left tibiotarsal fracture. The fracture was reduced and fifi xed with a 3.5-mm diameter, 113 mm long four-hole interlocking nail. The animal was weightbearing three days postoperatively on the bandaged limb. The fracture was assessed as clinically stable 14 days postoperatively. Twenty weeks postoperatively the function of the limb was assessed as normal. There seem to be only a few published cases of the presented method. Providing early return of limb function, the interlocking nail was a good method for tibiotarsal fracture repair in this black swan.
