Abstract
A case of transverse patellar fracture in a cat with preserved patellar ligament integrity and no history of traumatic injury is described. The patient is presented with grade 3 weight-bearing lameness and pain after palpation. Osteosynthesis with two Kirschner wires and figure-of-eight wiring was performed. The postoperative period was without complications. Three months post surgery, radiography demonstrated relatively good bone bridging at the fracture site and a very good clinical result.
