EXTERNAL FIXATION DEVICE FOR CATS WITH AFFECTED PELVIS, HIP JOINT, AND LUMBOSACRAL JUNCTION

Abstract

The goal of this study was to develop and test universal construction of external fixation for cats with affected pelvis, hip joint, or lumbosacral junction. X-ray and radiography data was collected and clinically examined to assess the application of the device in cats. Examination of 60 X-ray pictures showed that size of hip bone in cats allows using the device of one standard size to fix bones and junctions in pelvis of all cats. The device can be adjusted to exact type of fracture. X-ray examination of all 18 clinical cases revealed endosteal ossification in healing pelvis fractures in cats, thus suggesting rigid and stable fixation of the bone fragments. Recommended time of fixation in case of pelvis fracture is 40±10 days depending on the age of animal, specifics and age of fracture. Early functional revival of the hind limb is shown through apparent movement and bearing functions on the next day after the surgery. The external fixation is a static device ensuring absolute stability of bones and bone fragments, which maintains functions of the limbs without hampering animal’s quality of life after surgery.
