Effects of Femur Position on Radiographic Assessment of Femoral Head and Neck Excision Completeness in Cats.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to determine the effect of femoral position on radiographic assessment of completeness of femoral head and neck excision (FHNE) in cats.

Study Design:  The study included 20 femurs from adult cats. Complete FHNE was performed on 10 femurs and incomplete excision consisting of inadequate excision of the distal medial femoral neck was performed on 10 femurs.
