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).
Methods: Feline ilial fractures (n = 20) stabilized with either P or P + P were subjected to 100 nondestructive load cycles, then loaded to failure. Deformation after cycling, yield load and displacement, stiffness and load at 2 mm of displacement were compared between groups.
Results: There were no significant differences between groups for any of the parameters. Variability of data was much larger for the P + P group.
Conclusions: No biomechanical advantage was demonstrated. The P + P constructs were not significantly stronger than plates alone in this acutely loaded cadaveric model.

Successful use of a 3D-printed surgical guide to facilitate transiliosacral fixation in a cat with bilateral sacroiliac luxation.

Case Summary: A 7-year-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat was presented for treatment of a bilateral sacroiliac luxation (SIL). CT was performed and the data were extracted in a stereolithography (STL) file, after which a 3D-printed drill guide (3DPDG) was devised, using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and printed. Using an open surgical approach, the guide was used as an aid for drilling the sacrum.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of implant failure and the extent of pelvic canal narrowing associated with the fixation of ilial fractures in cats with a single veterinary cuttable plate (SLP) or double veterinary cuttable plates (DLP) applied to the lateral surface of the ilium.
Study Design: Radiographic evaluation of feline ilial fractures plated laterally using SLP or DLP. Pelvic canal narrowing directly postoperatively and at 6 weeks follow-up was objectively measured using the sacral index (SI).
Conservative management of pelvic fractures in dogs and cats in Algiers: Incidence and long-term clinical outcomes.

Department of Surgery, Higher National Veterinary School, Algiers, Algeria.
Aim: We performed a retrospective study to evaluate clinical complications and outcomes associated with non-operative management of pelvic fractures in dogs and cats and described owner satisfaction.
Materials And Methods: Based on radiographic findings and fracture location, case records were classified into two groups. Group 1 included animals with acetabulum involvement that underwent conservative treatment plus femoral head-and-neck excision.
Treatment of pelvic fractures in cats with patellar fracture and dental anomaly syndrome.

April 2021
University of Bristol, Langford, UK.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the treatment and outcome of acetabular and other pelvic fractures in cats with patellar fracture and dental anomaly syndrome (PADS) and to provide advice on how to manage these cases in practice.
Methods: Data were collated on cats with PADS that were reported to have sustained pelvic fractures or had fractures or fissures of the pelvis identified on submitted radiographs. The details of the fractures were recorded, in addition to any treatment and outcome information.
