Treatment of Cat Distal Diaphyseal and Supracondylar Femur Fractures with Dynamic Intramedullary Crosspinning Technique

This study was conducted on 12 cats with 11 supracondylar femur fractures and one distal diaphyseal fracture. Fracture properties, operation details, postoperative complications, radiographic images of the cases were recorded. The in classified according to Salter‐Harris, they determined as type I 1, Type II 7, IV 3 them. Dynamic intramedullary cross pinning technique applied patients Salter‐Harris II, fractures, dynamic pinning, intercondylar screw application, for that, fractures. It observed that 8 who operated used their extremities after removing bandage relevant extremity. In two lameness due other regions, but extremity movement returned normal healing bone. A patient a fracture, extent damage joint result trauma, had narrowing limping angle. pin migration occurred five days operation, cross‐pinning second operation. consequence findings, it influential treatment cats.
