Obtained whole body VD, lateral and oblique views of the right humerus. Patient induced under 2% O2 and 5% isoflurane, reduced to 2-2.5% iso during radiography. Radiographs reveal the beginning of new periosteal bone formation around the fracture site, which is well aligned and has minimal overriding of fracture fragments. Mild soft tissue swelling around the site of new periosteal bone formation. Pins do not appear to have lucency/tracts around them.

Bandage was changed--there were some feathers adherent to IM pin exit point and once removed some serosanguinous discharge came from small resulting wound. This was cleaned gently with gauze, and Neosporin applied to the tract. Small telfa applied over the tract. Fixator re-wrapped.

Patient removed bandage over fixator overnight completely. Replaced bandage over tie-in fixator and did three circumferential tape loops to hopefully reduce chances of complete removal overnight tonight. Skin incision looks good, still has good palpable soft tissue callous at fracture site. Pin tracts look good, fixator stable.

BANDAGE CHANGE:

Previous bandage intact and in place - removed. The ESF pins are clean and dry. The IM pin has a small amount of crusting at the insertion point. Cleaned all pin tracts with betadine, applied Mupirocin ointment, covered with Telfa. Applied wrapping of cast padding and vetrap around the bar. Attempted to cover the IM pin insertion point with tegaderm as best as possible.

Performed gentle ROM, elbow and carpus extend and flex well.

The sutures at the site where the fracture was open were noted to be intact. The sutures and the sites are the ESF pins had mupirocin applied before a new telfa was replaced and the external fixator rewrapped with roll gauze and vet-wrap. After replacement of the bandage the wing to body wrap was then replace using satin tape.

Bandaging was removed and the surgical site was gently cleaned with dilute betadine solution on sterile CTAs. A large longitudinal hematoma was present and there was moderate swelling around the distal ESF pin, especially on the lateral aspect of the distal humerus. The skin openings near both ESF pins appeared stretched, especially around the distal pin, and a mild amount of serosanguinous discharge was present near both openings. Mupiricin was applied around both ESF pins. New telfa was applied, and the pins were covered with fresh bandaging.

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - humerus
Performed by - Dr. Sokoloff
Surgery time - 57 minutes

Retrograde IM pin with two external skeletal fixator pins (positive
profile)
Prior to surgery an ultrasound-guided right brachial plexus block
was performed with 0.87mg bupivacaine. The patient was placed
in ventral recumbency with the right wing extended. Skin staples
were removed and the edge of the distal humeral bone fragment
was debrided with ronguers until healthy bone remained and hemorrhage
was present. The fragment was flushed with sterile saline, and
the proximal fragment was assessed similarly. An intramedullary
pin was carefully inserted into the proximal fragment and then
aligned and inserted into the distal fragment to better align
and appose both fragments. The skin was closed in a simple continuous
pattern. A 1.1 positive profile pin was inserted just proximal
to the humeral condyles, and a 1.6 positive profile pin was inserted
in the middle of the bone near the pectoral crest.

Legs/Feet - Plantar surface: Normal
Legs/Feet- Talons: Normal
Neurologic: Normal
Ceolom: Normal
BCS: 3
Vent: Normal
Droppings: Not appreciated
Uropygial gland: Normal
Other observations: Skin staples placed over the open, left humoral wing fracture, we then applied SSD ointment over the wound for antibiotic reasons due to the fracture being open to the outside environment. We also incoporated a bellyband external bandage to reduce range of motion for 247 in hopes of decreasing excessive motion/trauma to the left humoral fractured wing.

Problem list: Left wing humoral open fracture (distal diaphyseal transverse, open fracture), brusing around left elbow, choana hemorrage, and hippoboscidae parasites

Assessment:
- Left wing open humeral fracture (distal diaphyseal, transverse)

Confirmed on exam; open wound with exposed bone and bruising near the elbow.

Differentials: traumatic fracture from vehicle strike vs. predatory attack vs. impact injury from fall.

- Abnormal posture & limited left wing range of motion

Likely secondary to pain, instability, and soft tissue damage associated with the humeral fracture.

Differentials: neurotrauma affecting brachial plexus, muscular rupture, or joint luxation.

- Right eye abnormalities (details noted during exam)

Concern for ocular trauma.

Differentials: corneal injury/ulceration, uveitis, hyphema, lens damage, retinal injury, or optic nerve trauma secondary to blunt-force impact.

- Small amount of hemorrhage at choana

Differentials: head/facial trauma from vehicle collision, oral mucosal injury, sinus involvement, or beak impact injury.

- Dried carnivore care adhered to facial feathers

Indicates possible recent hand-feeding or prior supportive care. Not a primary problem but suggests previous weakness or inability to self-feed.

- Juvenile hippoboscid fly in left ear

Indicates mild ectoparasitism.

Differentials: local irritation vs. early otitis vs. incidental finding.

- General suspicion of vehicular trauma

Supported by pattern of injuries (fracture, ocular trauma, choanal bleeding).

Differentials for systemic trauma load: concussion, intracranial hemorrhage, internal organ injury, spinal trauma.

Plan:
1. Wound & Fracture Management

Cleaned and stabilized the left open humeral fracture.

Stapled the skin over the open fracture site.

Applied silver sulfadiazine (SSD) ointment to the wound (For antimicrobial reasons).

Placed a wing-to-body to limit movement and protect the fracture.

Plan for surgical repair on 11/24/25 or 11/25/25 depending on stability, swelling, and OR availability.

2. Medications

Clavamox: _ tablet of 125 mg PO to provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage for open fracture contamination.

Meloxicam: 0.15 mL SC for analgesia and anti-inflammatory effect; continue daily or as directed based on pain assessment.

Ketorolac ophthalmic: Apply to right eye twice daily for ocular inflammation and pain.

Continue SSD ointment topically on wound with each bandage check.

3. Hydration & Nutrition

30 mL Lactated Ringer_s Solution (LRS) SC for fluid support.

Offer 13 g of appropriate diet; assist-feed if intake is inadequate.

4. Ocular Care (Right Eye)

Continue ketorolac as above.

Monitor for development of corneal ulcer, hyphema, inflammation, or vision deficits.

Reassess globe integrity during daily exams.

5. Diagnostics & Monitoring

Daily bandage checks for strike-through, odor, swelling, or necrosis.

Repeat physical exam focusing on wing stability, pain level, and neurologic status.

Monitor for signs of systemic infection given open fracture (fever, lethargy, leukocytosis).

Consider radiographs post-operatively to confirm alignment and healing trajectory.

Monitor for progression of choanal bleeding or respiratory compromise.

6. Parasite Management

Remove additional hippoboscid flies if present during rechecks.

Consider topical or systemic ectoparasite treatment if infestation persists.

7. Supportive Care

Minimize handling to reduce stress.

Provide a quiet, dim recovery enclosure to support ocular rest and reduce trauma-related stress.

Maintain strict fracture stabilization during all handling.

8. Prognosis

Guarded due to open humeral fracture and ocular trauma, but improves with successful surgical repair and infection control.
