Traditional fixation methods have limitations, leading to the exploration of alternative techniques. The EFECE system, a novel fracture fixation method, aims to provide effective stabilization while minimizing complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal supracondylar femur fracture treatment in cats using the EFECE system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight cats diagnosed with distal supracondylar femur fractures were included.

The mean healing time was 42.8 days (range: 35\u201356 days). Minor complications were observed in three out of the eight cats included in the study. Weight\u2010bearing, behaviour and radiographic findings confirmed effective stabilization and compression of the fracture line using the EFECE system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The EFECE system provides a reliable and minimally invasive option for treating distal supracondylar femur fractures in cats, ensuring stable fixation and favourable clinical outcomes.
