Femorotibial joint-luxation repair with conjoined intramedullary pins has been successfully used in pediatric psittacine birds. However, there are no reports of complications associated with its use in adults. In this report, we describe the clinical presentation, surgical reduction, and postoperative complications associated with stifle-luxation repair in an adult female Solomon Island eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus solomonensis). The normal perching angle for the eclectus stifle was determined before surgery. Osteomyelitis was treated systemically and locally. Midfemoral amputation was performed as a salvage procedure, without an apparent reduction in the quality of the bird's life.
采用联合髓内针进行股胫关节脱位修复已成功应用于幼年鹦鹉。然而，尚无关于其在成年鹦鹉中使用相关并发症的报道。在本报告中，我们描述了一只成年雌性所罗门岛折衷鹦鹉（Eclectus roratus solomonensis）膝关节脱位修复的临床表现、手术复位及术后并发症。术前测定了折衷鹦鹉膝关节的正常栖息角度。对骨髓炎进行了全身和局部治疗。作为挽救措施进行了股骨中段截肢，结果表明该鸟的生活质量没有明显下降。
