Description
Avian Surgical Anatomy and Orthopedic Management, 2nd Edition, presents the musculoskeletal anatomy of the 1st original work and expands the scope to include comprehensive coverage for the clinical management of common fractures of the long bones of birds, primarily raptors. Avian Surgical Anatomy: Thoracic and Pelvic Limbs by Orosz, Ensley and Haynes, was published in 1992 and has served as a standard guide for those performing orthopedic surgery on birds. That foundational work is out of print but the need for a concise source of avian surgical anatomy has not changed. The procedures described have been honed over two decades of development and refinement by clinicians at the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota. In addition, we have included details of the vascular anatomy of the limbs, further informing the surgeon and clinician. 438 p.
