                    Figure 17-9 • A, Orientation craniocaudal view of the proximal and midhind limbs of a bald eagle shows a fractured distal right
                    tarsometatarsus estimated to be approximately 1 month old. B, A close-up view reveals a pile-driver fracture that has split and spread the

                    distal part of the bone into three pieces and filled in the resulting gaps with a large cloudlike deposit of new bone. The end result
                    somewhat resembles an expansile bone tumor.
