In this study, 20 cats of different breeds, ages and genders with traumatic lesions in the hind limbs that were brought to the Clinic of Surgery, Animal Hospital Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ankara University were evaluated. Clinical examination and radiological examination were performed in the bones of the hind limbs. According to these findings, fractures in 13 cases, coxal joint luxation in 2 cases, tarsal joint luxation in 2 cases and open wound in 3 cases were detected and necessary post-operative controls were maintained. Systemic examinations of the cases were performed according to the anamnesis and inspection findings. The related extremity was examined for pain, temperature, swelling, deformity, abnormal movement, crepitation and asymmetry. Using support bandages or restriction of the area were sufficient in non-displaced fractures. Maintenance and control procedures were routinely performed in patients undergoing conservative treatment as well. Successful results were obtained in the treatment of lesions requiring open reduction and fixation. In conclusion, general description, causes and localization of the traumatic lesions in the hind limbs of cats and the indicated treatment of the clinical cases and along with their results, as well as detailed information about the treatment methods were presented in this study. Besides, postoperative complications were also reported. As a result, it is believed that this study will provide a guiding contribution to clinical applications.

Bu çalışmada, Ankara Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesi Cerrahi Kliniğine getirilen, arka ekstremitelerinde travmatik lezyonlar bulunan farklı ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetteki 20 kedi değerlendirildi. Olgularda gerçekleştirilen klinik ve radyolojik muayeneler sonrasında; 13 olguda arka ekstremiteleri kemiklerinde kırık, 2 olguda caput femoris lüksasyonu, 2 olgu’da art. tarsi lüksasyonu, 3 olgu’da açık yara şekillenmiş olup, endike olan sağaltımları gerçekleştirilerek postoperatif kontroller sürdürülmüştür. Olguların anamnezleri ve inspeksiyon bulgularına göre sistemik muayeneleri gerçekleştirildi. Lezyon belirlenen ekstremite ağrı, sıcaklık, şişkinlik, deformite, anormal hareket, krepitasyon ve diğer ekstremitesi ile asimetri bulguları yönünden muayene edildi. Konservatif sağaltım endikasyonu bulunan kırıklarda destekli bandaj ve kısıtlı alan uygulamaları yeterli olup, rutin bakım ve kontrolleri sürdürüldü. Açık redüksiyon ve fiksasyon gerektiren olgularda endike olan sağaltım yöntemleri ve postoperatif rutin kontrolleri sürdürülerek fonksiyonel iyileşmeleri sağlandı. Klinik olguların değerlendirildiği bu çalışmada, kedilerde karşılaşılan arka ekstremite travmatik lezyonlarının genel olarak tanımı, oluşum nedenleri, lokalizasyonu ile endike olan konservatif veya operatif sağaltım yöntemlerinin uygulanmasına ilişkin ayrıntılı bilgiler aktarılmıştır.
