https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/20278/fractured-rabbit-femoral-condyle Would appreciate thoughts on this. 3yo giant (6kg) ME rabbit which &#39;banged&#39; its R stifle yesterday and NWB since. Otherwise healthy, though other patella luxates laterally, 2/IV (unsure if this normal for rabbits).

Hold reduction using pointed reduction forceps and fix fracture with two, or preferably three lag screws - 2.7 or 2.0mm. Your lag screw technique needs to be good - the cortical bone is thin and hard so make sure your drills are sharp and use drill-guides to ensure centralised holes. Countersink the screw heads to spread the load and avoid cracking the bone. Outcome should be good - expect some arthritis as this is an intra-articular fracture but the rabbit is clearly coping with the OA that is already there. I have operated on several of these over the years - interestingly, there is rarely any significant trauma reported in the history - and all have done well.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
