Rhino Amara Undergoes Groundbreaking Leg Surgery
News summary

A team of over ten veterinary specialists at Knowsley Safari Park in the UK successfully performed a groundbreaking surgery on Amara, a two-year-old southern white rhinoceros, who had a fractured ulna in her front leg. The operation, lasting five hours and involving keyhole surgery, was unprecedented, as no prior records existed for similar procedures on rhinos. Veterinary experts, including Dr. David Stack from the University of Liverpool, adapted techniques from equine surgery due to the lack of information on treating such injuries in rhinos. After the surgery, Amara wore a full limb cast for six months and was closely monitored by her keepers. Following her recovery, Amara has returned to enjoying life outdoors with her herd. This procedure marks a significant advancement in veterinary medicine for large animals.
