Article Abstract
Objective: To show and describe appropriate methods for early postoperative management of avian fracture repairs.
Animals: Avian species.
Methods: Traumatic wing fractures are common in wild birds. Orthopedic surgery using an external fixator is a commonly used method to repair these fractures. Wild avian patients need to heal with minimal fibrosis of soft tissue structures, such as tendons and muscle, and with normal joint range of motion in order to have appropriate functional use of wings to reach peak performance for release. Traditional small animal sports medicine and rehabilitation modalities can be utilized in avian patients in order to reach this goal.
Results: Appropriate use of wound care, cryotherapy, passive range of motion, and photobiomodulation can be used in the early postoperative recovery period for birds in order to achieve acceptable functional recovery after surgical repair of wing fractures.
Clinical Relevance: The early postoperative period is a critical time to establish appropriate tissue healing free of complications such as reduced joint range of motion, development of tissue adhesions, or loss of muscle length or elasticity. In this video, we cover appropriate tissue and surgical site care, wing bandaging, cryotherapy, passive range of motion, and photobiomodulation for the early postoperative period following external fixation placement in avian patients in order to maximize recovery, minimize tissue healing complications, and improve clinical outcomes in these cases.

Multiple Renal Vessels: The Anatomical Variants with Clinical Implications in Renal Interventions and Hypertension.
Ann Afr Med
September 2025
Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan.
Background: A comprehensive knowledge of renal vasculature is essential to diagnose and carry out safe clinical interventions accurately. Anatomic variations in renal vessels can present procedural challenges in surgeries such as nephrectomy, transplants, and endovascular interventions.
Methods: In the present retrospective study, we analyzed the distribution patterns of the renal vascular variants and measurements of length and diameter in computed tomography angiographies (CTAs).
Comparison of Unilateral Spinal Anesthesia and Popliteal Nerve Block for Postoperative Rebound Pain in Foot Surgeries - An Observational Study.
Ann Afr Med
September 2025
Department of Anaesthesiology, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India.
Background: Regional anesthesia techniques, such as unilateral spinal anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks, are essential components of multimodal analgesia. Nonetheless, "rebound pain," an abrupt increase in nociceptive intensity following the cessation of the block, is inadequately defined and may compromise patient satisfaction and functional recovery.
Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to compare postoperative pain profiles, the incidence of rebound pain, and patient satisfaction following popliteal sciatic nerve block versus unilateral spinal anesthesia in elective foot surgeries.

Objective: To evaluate diagnostic significance of IL-6 compared to CRP for early detection of anastomotic leakage after colon resection for colorectal cancer.
Material And Methods: The study included 277 patients who underwent total resection for colorectal cancer. Patients were retrospectively divided into three groups: without complications (=227), with anastomotic leakage (=30), and other postoperative complications (=20).

Transplantation-mediated alloimmune thrombocytopenia following liver transplantation from a donor with ITP: a case report and review of the literature.
Hematology

Adult Hematology, Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Section, Oncology Center, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Objectives: To describe a rare case of transplantation-mediated alloimmune thrombocytopenia (TMAT) following liver transplantation from a donor with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to contextualize findings within the literature.
Methods: We reviewed the clinical course of a 63-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from a donor with severe thrombocytopenia consistent with ITP. Clinical, laboratory, and bone marrow findings were analyzed, and alternative causes of thrombocytopenia were excluded.
