Abstract
Fractures in poultry are not very common and can sometimes be the result of underlying disease, which needs to be considered when planning corrective management. Developmental diseases are more commonly seen in fast-growing birds. This chapter covers general principles, common fracture repair techniques, fractures of the beak, skull, thoracic and pelvic limbs, amputation, fracture disease and developmental disorders.

(a)Lateral and (b) rostrocaudal view of a tibiotarsus fracture in a hen. With simple diaphyseal fractures, as in this case, the preferred technique for fixation is with a type IA or type IIA external skeletal fixator (depending on the size of the bird) or a tie-in procedure. © 2019 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

(a)Ventrodorsal and (b) lateral radiographs showing joint disease in a duck (arrowed). There is evidence of soft tissue oedema, an increased articular space due to joint effusion of the second tarsometatarsal–phalanx joint and a proximal periosteal reaction. The cytological examination revealed a septic arthritis. It is important to obtain radiographs of the contralateral limb for comparison. © 2019 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
