This study demonstrates the efficacy of brachial plexus block combined with balanced anesthesia in the treatment of fractures in Caracara plancus, an area rarely explored in veterinary medicine. An adult male caracara with a left humeral fracture was successfully treated using a multimodal anesthetic approach. The combination of dexmedetomidine, ketamine, midazolam, and morphine provided effective anesthesia, resulting in muscle relaxation and hemodynamic stability. The brachial plexus block, performed with the aid of a nerve stimulator, was essential for segmental analgesia. The anesthetic protocol employed allowed for the entire surgical procedure to be conducted pain-free and safely. Postoperative recovery was rapid and uncomplicated, with bone consolidation confirmed by radiographs. It is concluded that the brachial plexus block combined with balanced anesthesia is a viable and safe option for orthopedic procedures in birds of prey
