Evaluation and surgical treatment of sacroiliac fracture-luxations in 28 cats and 25 dogs

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate sacroiliac fracture-luxations clinically and radiographically, to treat with uni- or bilateral screw fixation and to describe surgical outcomes in cats and dogs. Cats (n=28) and dogs (n=25) which were brought to the clinic with complaints of pain, reluctance to move one or two hind limbs and/or dragging the hind limbs constituted the material of this study. Pelvic region radiographs were taken from all animals. Sacroiliac fracture-luxations and pelvic floor fractures were examined and surgery was decided. For surgical treatment, uni- or bilateral sacroiliac screw fixation was performed. Pelvic floor fractures were stabilized with pin and/or Kirschner wire fixation. According to postoperative clinical and radiographical findings, screw stabilization was found satisfactory. The animals compensated their implants very good and no complications were seen
