A free-ranging adult female hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) was presented injured, presumably from vehicular trauma. Clinical and radiographic examination under general anesthesia revealed a lateral elbow luxation. Closed reduction was unsuccessful, so a surgical approach with circumferential suture prostheses was used to stabilize the elbow. Neither perioperative nor postoperative complications were recorded. The hedgehog regained good range of motion of the elbow and was fully able to run and to roll into a ball.
一只成年野生雌性刺猬（欧洲刺猬）因受伤前来就诊，推测是受到车辆撞击所致。全身麻醉下的临床和放射学检查显示肘关节外侧脱位。闭合复位未成功，因此采用带环形缝合假体的手术方法来稳定肘关节。围手术期和术后均未记录到并发症。这只刺猬肘关节的活动范围恢复良好，完全能够奔跑和卷成一团。
