Abstract
Introduction:
Monteggia fractures are rare traumatic injuries in cats and dogs. Ulna repair is mostly achieved by plates. Stable radial head fixation however is challenging. Temporary position screws have to be removed due to rotation forces in the elbow joint causing screw loosening. We present a novel and simple method using a sling technique, which holds the radial head in its physiological position and allows normal elbow movement.
