Management of distal tarsometatarsal fracture in a Hill Mynah (Gracula religiosa) by using external coaptation technique

An adult Hill Mynah (Gracula religiosa) was presented with non weight-bearing lameness on the leg. A distal transverse fracture of the left tarsometatarsus was diagnosed by using radiography techniques. A combination of external coaptation using tape splint and ball bandage was applied. It was found that this combination technique resulted in a clinical union of the fractured site at three weeks post-treatment. Thus technique also provided peeching and movement stability in the cage. The success of this combination technique offers another alternative for external coaptation in avian species.

Abstract

An adult Hill Mynah (Gracula religiosa) was presented with non weight-bearing lameness on the leg. A distal transverse fracture of the left tarsometatarsus was diagnosed by using radiography techniques. A combination of external coaptation using tape splint and ball bandage was applied. It was found that this combination technique resulted in a clinical union of the fractured site at three weeks post-treatment. Thus technique also provided peeching and movement stability in the cage. The success of this combination technique offers another alternative for external coaptation in avian species.
