Surgery, using plates, nuts and bolts, for pelvic fracture reductions in two cats

Pelvic fractures were repaired in two cats, following the failure of initial surgical reductions. The second surgeries in both animals involved the application of bone plates using nuts and bolts. A lateral plate was used to replace wire for cat I and a ventral plate was used to spread the pelvis in the second cat after screws had failed to hold a plate on the ilium.
