The objective of this study was to compare the results of six methods used for surgical repair of 288 clinical bone fractures in dogs and 112 in cats. A relationship is established between the location of the fractures and the applicability and successfulness of the different techniques used. For repairing canine diaphyseal fractures best results are obtained by fixation with plates followed by internal fixation with pins. Combination of internal pins with fill-cerclage wires is more efficient in osteosynthesis of metaphyseal fractures than the use of intramedullar pins alone. Rush pinning techniques is highly successful for repairing epiphyseal fractures in both dogs and cats.
