Abstract:The purpose of the study: to study the features of the treatment of fractures of the metacarpal bones in cats using intramedullary osteosynthesis. The study included 14 cats with injuries to one or more metacarpals. Fractures in each cat were classified after viewing radiographs according to topography and type (transverse, oblique, or comminuted) of fractures. Group 1 (n=8) was treated with a pin. Osteosynthesis was performed for closed fractures involving only one metacarpal bone. Group 2 (n=6) was treated b… Show more
