| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological results
in the post-operative period by placing LC-DCP or reconstruction plates on the
dorsal and lateral of the fracture line in cases of corpus ossis ilium fractures in cats.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>The study material consist 14 cats with different breed,
gender and age. Plate osteosynthesis was applied to the dorsal of the corpus ossis
ilium in 7 cats with an ilium fracture, and laterally to the other 7 cats. In total, a 1.5
mm reconstruction plate was used in 8 cases, and a 1.5 and 2.0 mm LC-DCP plate was
used in 6 cases. A locked lack screw of 2.0/16 mm and 2.0/14 mm was used in 2 cases
with sacroiliac luxation.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Lateral application was easy when the fracture line was in the cranial part
of the corpus ossis ilium. Dorsal application was more difficult due to the anatomical
structure of the os ilium. During the study, preoperative hemothorax in 3 cases, pnömothorax
and lung contusion in 1 case, constipation in 4 of 14 cases, urinary bladder
problem in 4 cases, numbness and paraplegia in the tail in 3 cases were observed
postoperatively.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> As a result, no difference was observed between the post-operative clinical
and radiological results of placing LC-DCP or reconstruction plates on the dorsal
and lateral of the bone. Because of the locked plate and screws kept the fracture fragments
more rigid, no screw loosening was observed in both methods. |
