Fractura del miembro anterior en el ratonero común (<i>buteo buteo</i>): estudio retrospectivo de 38 casos
Abstract
Forelimb fractures were the most frequent pathology (41%) on the common buzzards (buteo buteo) that were admitted to the UTAD veterinary hospital in the last 5 years (2004-2008). The objective of this work was to do a retrospective clinical study for the animals that presented this pathology. The criteria for the inclusion in this study comprehended animals with: clinical signs of forelimb fracture and X-Rays fracture diagnosis. We selected by this method 38 animals.We have detected that in 92,1 % of the cases, the admission dates were coincident with bird hunting season (p<0,001). We observed that the animals in this study presented a microhematocrit and total proteins average significantly lower (p<0,001) then the normal value for the specie (29,09 % versus 40,8% and 3,833 g/dl versus 4,6 g/dl respectively).The animals with forelimb multiple fractures presented higher mortality proportion then the other forelimb fractures.
