Article Synopsis
- - Three American and one Chilean flamingo chick had valgus limb deformities and underwent surgical correction using a technique called transphyseal bridging to slow down growth in affected bones.
- - Surgeons used positive profile pins and various banding methods to create tension during the surgery.
- - The majority of the flamingos showed improvement within 7-14 days, while one did not due to possible surgical errors; the method is recommended for younger flamingos with similar deformities.
