Clinical experience and outcomes using a commercially available micro‐plating system for metabone fractures in dogs and cats: 10 cases (2019‐2023)
This is the first clinical evaluation of the VetKISS for metabone fracture repair, and includes long-term follow-up. Results demonstrated complete functional recovery and 100% clinical union rates in all patients, with acceptable complication rates. This system can be considered for metabone repair in patients weighing <7 kg without the use of external coaptation.
