BAR-P, When I walked into the enclosure, he ran on perch then flew to other side, bounced off the wall and landed on ground. When approached he would not move, so I exited to let him fly up to the perch. He flew only 3x and he would not fly again.

Recheck Right Wing:

Physical restraint for examination of right wing. All skin incisions are fully healed. There remains a superficial focal scab at proximal aspect of the right humerus from pin site but healed well.

Palpation is very good with near full extension of the right elbow and carpus.

Performed PT today with patient restrained.

Suggest checking with Dr. G on Friday about whether she wishes to have PT continued with staff or allow patient to self exercise.

BAR. In small habitat so unable to evaluate flight .
Brought inside and put under anesthesia for fixator removal.
Clipped cross bars then pulled out IM (took a bit of force). Was able to easily pull out cross pins.
All exit sites fairly clean, even the shoulder one that had a bit of exudate. Cleaned and applied Silver Gel.
Radiographs taken after removal show great resolution of fracture. The head of the humerus looks a bit indistinct, and the shoulders a bit asymmetrical, hopefully due to inflammation from the pins.
Did PT - all joints decent ROM, shoulder a bit stiff.
Eyes are improved.
P: Move somewhere bigger. PT every 2-3 days, can try without anesthesia depending on bird's comfort level. Check pin sites.
Will check in 1 week. Dr Gardner

BAR in condo, needs bigger enclosure! Holding both wings out evenly, external fixator in place.
Anesthetized, quick VD radiograph shows all pins in good alignment.
There is still some irritation and a little oozing at the exit site for the IM pin, but to me it doesn't look bad. The other pins look good.
Did PT - good ROM.
Cleaned around pin sites and applied Triple AB, then again placed padding around pin ends poking out of ventral wing.
Overall appears to be doing well. Moved to larger habitat today. Check ex-fix and pins every 3 days. Will likely remove in 1 week. Also will recheck eyes. Dr Gardner

Bird is BAR per staff, very active and feisty.
Anesthetized for a VD radiograph - alignment and placement of pins still looks good.
Bird is forming some scar tissue on the ventral aspect of the wing but I can still feel the tips of the pins poking through.
Did PT - wing loosened up quickly. Cleaned around pins, most looked great, a little discharge around IM pin but improved.
Decided to leave wing unwrapped for now. Put some gauze over the pin points on the ventral wing and some Tegaderm, then a little tape around the external fixator and the IM pin.
Eyes are improved, I am optimistic about them.
P: Check daily to make sure ex fix is in place, and that the wing is not too droopy. Will recheck to move to a larger habitat in 1 week. -Dr. Gardner

BAR per staff, eating well.
Anesthetized for quick VD radiograph - radiographs showed that alignment is still good, there is a bit of visible callous and callous is easily palpable.
Did PT - good ROM in elbow, slightly limited in shoulder.
I do feel the 2 most distal pins coming through the bone, and at least the distal one is visible through the skin.
Cleaned the area and attempted to clip the tip of the pin, but was unable to with such a small amount visible.
There is a small wound on the shoulder, cleaned the IM pin exit site and applied TAB to all pin sites.
Went ahead and rewrapped the whole wing, but may be able to leave unwrapped Friday. Will need to figure out how to pad the tips of the pins in the ventral wing.
Eyes are improved but I am a bit concerned that OS could develop a cataract. There is still a lot of debris forward of the fundus, not sure if it involves the lens or the vitreous.
P: PT to continue every 2-3 days. Clean pin sites during PT. Dr Gardner

Standing and alert, being force fed.
Anesthetized w/ Isoflurane for bandage change/ radiographs.
Radiographs show excellent alignment, but difficult to tell how good cross-pin placement is.
Despite radiographic appearance, I can feel all three of the cross pins penetrating the soft tissues at the distal cortices, so I think they are well seated. I am not that pleased at how far out the fixator stands from the wing, but when folded it is not too protrusive.
Incision looks great, bruising on the wing is minimal.
Applied triple AB to pin sites. Re-wrapped w/ a little cast padding and vet wrap.
Evaluated eyes - OS in particular is concerning.
P: Continue all medications as prescribed. PT/ bandage change every 3-4 days for now, can increase next week when everything is more solid.

Standing the in back of the kennel the L wing spread out. Easy to handle. Placed under 3% ISO via mask in surgery suit for wound care and PT. The 2 suture sites from the wounds look nice and dry with a typical amount of scabbing. The pin sites look good overall. The skin has a small tear near the middle cross pin. Scrubbed all pin sites with iodine and then put triple antibiotic on it. Wraps with some light padding and modified figure 8 with a body to cover the pin exit site. Bird recovered quickly and was treated and placed back in KR2.

Dr G was pleased with the pictures of the fixation and the update.

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - humerus
Performed by - Dr G
Surgery time - 60 minutes

Positionined in ventral recumbency and prepped the dorsal aspect
of the wing. The fracture is transverse, mid-shaft. While prepping
found a small "road rash" wound on the point of the shoulder,
and a small single wound on the edge of the dorsal humerus mid-shaft.
Incised over the fracture site. Bluntly separated the muscle
bellies and identified the radial nerve directly over the fracture
site. It appeared intact but slightly bruised. Retracted gently
w/ a sterile Q-tip for much of the procedure. 
Located the proximal fracture fragment and selected a 5/64 IM
pin. Placed in the proximal fracture fragment then advanced retrograde
into the shoulder, through the proximal humerus. After that,
advanced normograde into the distal fragment. Checked placement
radiographically. The IM pin is larger than I had anticipated,
and I didn't advance quite as far distally as usual. 
After this placed a smaller pin (0.045) proximally angled proximo-cranially,
and two 0.035 pins distally angled the opposite direction. 
Checked placement w/ palpation and radiographically. They all
barely penetrated the distal cortex where they were placed. 
Bent all pins and placed cast material to form an external fixator.

Both small wounds closed w/ 4-0 PDS. On surgical incision, muscle
bellies opposed w/ 4-0 PDS (horizontal mattress pattern) and
skin closed w/ cruciate pattern. 
Bandaged w/ figure-8. Stable during surgery, but slow to recover.
