Flexible External Fixation for Traumatic Craniodorsal Coxofemoral Luxations in Dogs and Cats

Abstract

A flexible external fixation was performed following surgical reduction of coxofemoral luxation in two canine and one feline cases. Two pins were inserted at the corpus of ilium and the great trochanter, respectively, and they were connected by a flexible band. At 2 weeks postoperation, the pins were removed, and no recurrence was seen in any cases.
