Results of Repair of Femoral Head or Neck Fracture with Half-pins in Six Cases

Abstract

We repaired fracture of the femoral head or femoral neck by internal fixation of 7 legs in 2 dogs and 4 cats. Five animals were in good condition after surgery, but the case of a dog with femoral neck fracture resulted in osteolysis in an early stage. We compared this with all the other cases, and discussed the causes of the early osteolysis.
