Abstract

Pelvic fractures constitute 25% of fractures seen in cats and are usually the result of major trauma. Concomitant injuries are frequently present, which may involve multiple body systems, and management of these generally takes precedence as cats rarely die as a direct result of the pelvic fracture. Several criteria are used to establish whether an individual cat is a candidate for surgical or conservative management, but if surgery is to be performed this is best carried out within five days of the trauma where possible. When appropriate case selection is employed, the prognosis following either conservative or surgical management of pelvic fractures in cats is generally favourable
