To our knowledge, this is the first case of concurrent diaphyseal left coracoid and left femoral fractures in a Eurasian eagle owl and its post-release survival in Korea. The femur was surgically repaired using an external skeletal fixator-intramedullary (IM) pin tie-in method, and the coracoid was repaired solely with an IM pin on day 6 after femur surgery. The eagle owl underwent a gradual rehabilitation process. The bird was successfully rehabilitated and released 101 d after initial presentation. The bird was monitored using a wildlife tracking device and was confirmed to have survived for over 5 mon in the wild.
据我们所知，这是首例欧亚雕鸮同时发生的骨干左侧喙突和左侧股骨骨折病例，并且它在韩国成功存活下来。股骨通过使用外部骨骼固定器-髓内（IM）钉联合固定方法进行了手术修复，喙突仅在股骨手术后的第 6 天通过 IM 钉进行了修复。这只雕鸮经历了一个逐渐康复的过程。这只鸟在初次就诊后 101 天成功康复并被放飞。这只鸟使用野生动物追踪设备进行了监测，并确认它在野外生存了 5 个月以上。
