CHAPTER 13 III The Wing: Gunshots 139
Figure 13-4 • Close-up ventrodorsal view of the carpal region of a snowy owl shot by a high-velocity bullet shows displaced comminuted
fractures of the distal ulnar body and proximal major metacarpal bone, which severely disrupt the carpometacarpal joint. It appears that the
ulnar carpal bone has been fractured and dislocated and is now in the process of being bound to the fractured metacarpus by callus.
