We describe the successful treatment of a tarsometatarsal fracture in a mature bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) using a locking compression plate as an external fixator. The anatomy of the area (inelastic dermis and minimal subcutaneous space) and the high forces placed on a fracture at that site necessitated a unique approach to fixation. The unconventional use of a locking compression plate as an external fixator was minimally invasive, well tolerated by the eagle, and provided adequate stability in opposing fracture forces. This technique may serve as a method of fixation for tarsometatarsal fractures in other large avian species.
我们描述了使用锁定加压接骨板作为外固定器成功治疗一只成年白头海雕（Haliaeetus leucocephalus）跗跖骨骨折的案例。该区域的解剖结构（无弹性真皮和最小的皮下间隙）以及该部位骨折所承受的高负荷力使得需要一种独特的固定方法。将锁定加压接骨板非常规地用作外固定器具有微创性，白头海雕耐受性良好，并在对抗骨折力时提供了足够的稳定性。该技术可作为其他大型鸟类物种跗跖骨骨折的一种固定方法。
