“…Clinical treatment for injured avian wildlife is well explored within the literature [1][2][3], however, there is limited information regarding the long-term impacts that environmental stress has on the recovery of a patient. Environmental stressors are factors within the environment that cause stress to an individual [4].…”

Urbanisation exposes avian wildlife to an array of environmental stressors that result in clinical admission and hospitalisation. The aim of this pilot study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of clinical data and characterise this based on categories of stress experienced by avian wildlife patients. The results from this study indicated that impact injuries (n = 33, 25%) and vehicle-related injuries (n = 33, 25%) were the most common occurring preliminary stressors that resulted in the hospitalisation of avian wildlife. The most common outcome of avian patients that suffered from vehicle-related injuries was euthanasia (n = 15, 45%), as was avian patients that suffered from impact injuries (n = 16, 48%). Immobility (n = 105, 61%) and abnormal behaviour (n = 24, 14%) were the most commonly occurring primary stressors of avian patients. Finally, trauma (n = 51, 32%) and fractures (n = 44, 27%) were the most common occurring secondary stressors in avian patients. The most common outcome of all these stressors was euthanasia. This study provided further evidence towards the notion that human- and urbanisation-related stressors are the main causes of hospitalisation of avian wildlife, but also indicated that birds admitted as a result of human-related stressors are more likely to be euthanised than released. This study also provided a categorisation system for the stressors identified in avian wildlife patients (preliminary, primary and secondary) that may be used to monitor the stress categories of wildlife patients and gain a deeper understanding of the complex notion of stress.

“…The present case report describes the surgical treatment of a coxofemoral luxation in a Northern goshawk with the use of a transarticular pin after an unsuccessful conservative therapy. In our case the clinical signs with a forward adducted and slightly external rotated position of the leg with a reduced mobility are typical for a craniodorsal luxation of the coxofemoral joint, a very common luxation of hip joint in raptors [ 2 , 3 , 14 ]. The treatment of a luxation in general includes the reduction and stabilization of the joint to prevent reluxation.…”

“…This arrangement of the hip joint as a gliding-hinge joint allows especially cranio-caudal movements and reduced lateral movements of the leg. The hip joint is stabilized by the intraarticular ligament of the femur head and three difficult to separate ligaments, the pubofemoral, iliofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligament [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

“…Several procedures have been described to repair coxofemoral luxation in avian species [ 2 , 3 ]. Conservative management include spica splints, casts and slings [ 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Surgical stabilization can be achieved via polypropylene sutures [ 3 , 4 , 10 ], transarticular pinning [ 6 ] or toggle-pin technique [ 11 ]; excision arthroplasty of the femoral head has also been described [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Surgical Stabilisation of a Coxofemoral Luxation in a Northern Goshawk (Accipter gentilis) with Transarticular Pinning

A 3-year-old male northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) used in falconry for hunting was diagnosed with a craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation of the left leg after an unsuccessful hunting flight. Closed reduction in the dislocation was unsuccessful and the hip joint reluxed again with slight abduction of the limb. An open surgical reduction with a transarticular stabilization using a normogradely inserted Kirschner wire was performed. The implant was removed surgically after five weeks. After about seven weeks, the owner saw no abnormalities in the loading of the limbs, and the goshawk was successfully used for hunting after nine months in the next hunting season.
