SUMMARY:

As in other classes of animals, birds have orthopedic changes that require surgical treatment, among them, fractures are quite common. Compared to mammals, there are few scientific studies specifically dedicated to avian orthopedics. Thus, despite having completely different anatomy, physiology, behavior, form of displacement and bone composition, so far the scientific community suggests that the principles adopted for orthopedic procedures in birds should follow the same technical premises applied in mammals. Locked nails offer several advantages from a biomechanical point of view, because when inserted into the medullary canal, the most neutral axis of the bone, they provide a greater moment of inertia in the area (resistance to flexural forces) and biologically, allowing a minimally invasive procedure, the preservation of vascularization and the integrity of adjacent soft tissues, thus contributing to a better recovery of the patient and respecting the premises of biological osteosynthesis. Due to complications attributed to the composition of orthopedic implants (usually metallic alloys of stainless steel and titanium) observed in both human and veterinary orthopedics, around 50 years ago, analyzes of biodegradable polymers began as possible substitutes for traditional metallic compounds in the production of orthopedic implants.
