[Treatment of a mandibular fracture in a common buzzard (Buteo buteo L., 1758)].
A common buzzard with an old dislocated unilateral mandibular fracture causing apathy, inappetence and reduction of body weight was presented for surgical treatment (reduction of fracture, intramedullary pinning with a Kirschner wire). Postoperatively the wild bird recovered rapidly and could eat without assistance after four days. Evaluation of the raptor six weeks p.op. revealed normal occlusion and fracture healing. Therefore, it was decided to release the bird into wildlife.
