Abstract

This study aimed to assess the outcome of a bilateral acetabular physeal fracture treated with external fixation in an immature cat, a surgical technique not usually employed in immature patients. The fixator took 40 days, and it was removed after radiographic bone healing was achieved. No significant complications related to the technique were identified, and the outcome was classified as good based on the functional assessment and pain scales employed. The use of external fixation for stabilising acetabular fractures in immature cats should be considered a viable technical option, especially for minimally invasive stabilisation.
