Complications of appendicular fracture repair in cats and small dogs using locking compression plates.

Objective: Our objectives were: 1) to review the complications associated with stabilization of appendicular fractures in cats and small dogs using locking compression plates (LCP), and 2) to identify factors that could influence fixation construct stability.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical study.

Materials And Methods: Medical and radiographic records of cats and small dogs with appendicular fractures treated with LCP were reviewed.
