CHAPTER 12  III  The Wing: Dislocation, Fracture-Dislocation, and Traumatic Amputation and Avulsion  129


































                    Figure 12-4 • Dislocated left shoulder in a hawk. Close-up ventrodorsal view of the shoulder region shows luxation of the left humeral joint
                    in conjunction with displaced fractures of the left central coracoid and proximal scapula. This pattern of injury is regularly seen in raptors.



































                    Figure 12-5 • Traumatic amputation in a mountain bluebird. Ventrodorsal projection of the wings and shoulder region shows absence of
                    right distal metacarpus and digits.
