Came in this am as suspected RTA (open wound on right lateral hock, scuffed nails). X-rays revealed bilateral femoral neck fracture and L hip femoral head luxated as well.

You only need one or two mm of K wire point into the femoral head/capital fragment and two wires are enough. If surgery fails you can salvage with bilateral excision arthroplasties and consequently you are no worse off. If it succeeds you will have a functinally normal, pain-free cat.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/67756?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 11 Jul 2012 21:18:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:0c20c934-9fdf-41bb-97eb-c5b7d03dc708Robin Grimmer<p>Bilateral excision arthroplasty</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
