Biomechanical evaluation of the influence of an intramedullary pin on the stability of a feline ilial fracture model stabilized with a bone plate.

Objective: To compare the mechanical properties of feline ilial fractures stabilized with either a plate (P), or a plate and IM pin (P + P).

Study Design: Mechanical study.

Sample Population: Cadaveric cat pelvii (n = 10).
