Defining A Safe Entry Point for a Sacral Screw in Lateral Plating in Feline Ilial Fractures

Introduction: Ilial fractures are common in cats. Lateral plating is the most commonly used technique for repair; however, it is associated with a high rate of screw loosening due to the limited bone purchase. A sacral screw has been suggested to increase bone purchase. However, defining the exact position for a screw engaging the sacral body can be challenging. The purpose of this study was to define a safe entry point for a sacral body screw in lateral plating of feline ilial fractures.
