Zusammenfassung:This review aimed to describe aspects of bird fractures, some immobilization techniques and the complications of fractures. Although the principles of fracture repair in birds are similar to those of small animals, there are differences that should be considered during the application of the immobilization method. Fractures in birds can be immobilized by external coaptation (splints and bandages), internal fixation (pins, cerclage wires, bone plates) and external fixation, among others, each one with its own advantages and disadvantages. The severity of the fracture interferes in the rate and course of bone healing; however, clinical stability may precede radiographic evidence, which is visible in 3-6 weeks. Avian fractures tend to be open and comminuted, because of the scarce cover of soft tissues. Open fractures have high risk of developing osteomyelitis and, consequently, may develop delayed union or non-union. Keywords: treatment, healing, bone, immobilization, complication. A presente revisao teve por objetivos descrever diversos aspectos das fraturas em aves, alguns metodos de imobilizacao e as complicacoes das fraturas. Embora os principios de reparo da fratura em aves seja similar aos de pequenos animais, existem diferencas que precisam ser consideradas no momento da aplicacao do metodo de imobilizacao. As fraturas em aves podem ser imobilizadas por meio da coaptacao externa (talas e bandagens), fixacao interna (pinos, fios de cerclagem, placas osseas) e fixacao externa, entre outros, cada qual com suas vantagens e desvantagens. A severidade da fratura interfere na taxa e curso da consolidacao; contudo, a estabilidade clinica pode preceder a evidencia radiografica, que e visibilizada entre 3 e 6 semanas. As fraturas em aves tendem a ser expostas e cominutivas, em virtude da insuficiente cobertura de tecidos moles. Quando expostas, as fraturas apresentam alto risco de osteomielite e, consequentemente, podem desenvolver uniao atrasada ou nao-uniao. Palavras-chave: tratamento, consolidacao, osso, imobilizacao, complicacao.
