The diagnosis of scapulohumeral luxation and avulsion fracture with 3-dimensional computed tomography in a yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis)
Abstract
An adult yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) of unknown sex was evaluated with history of motor vehicle trauma and unable to fly. The patient, that on first examination showed no clinical sign, was diagnosed on second day with scapulohumeral luxation and avulsion fracture via 3-dimensional computed tomography. Computed tomography is a noninvasive, well-recognized diagnostic procedure in avian medicine. This is the first case report to describe use of computed tomography to diagnosis scapulohumeral luxation and avulsion fracture in a yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis).
