Application of Triple Pelvic Osteotomy in Treatment of Obstipation and Megacolon Secondary to Pelvic-fracture Malunions

Abstract

In one dog and three cats malunion of pelvic fractures had resulted in secondary obstipation and megacolon. Triple pelvic osteotomy was performed to widen the pelvic canal by fixing the free pelvic acetablum segment. In all four cases, obstipation and megacolon improved clinically and radiographically.
