Medical records were searched for cats that had a bandage placed after a clean orthopaedic injury. Data collected included: signalment, diagnosis, anatomical region, orthopaedic procedure, professional role of the person applying the bandage (specialist\/resident\/nurse), bandage duration, complications, and outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 152 cats had bandages placed after clean orthopaedic injuries. Complications were reported in 104 cats (68.4%). Bandage-related complications were mild in 64.4% cases, moderate in 32.7% cases, and severe 2.9% of cases. If a cat had a splint placed, it was 3.4 times more likely to have a more severe complication compared with a cat which did not require a splint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Bandage complications occur frequently in cats, and the use of splints was a significant predictor of increased complication severity. Clinicians should be particularly vigilant when bandaging limbs in cats, as complications secondary to bandaging occur frequently. These findings underscore the importance of appropriate case selection for bandage application and monitoring strategies to minimize the risk of complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2655-9218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]],"date-time":"2025-07-31T22:56:11Z","timestamp":1754002571000},"page":"126-132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Incidence of Bandage-Associated Complications in Cats following Clean Orthopaedic Procedures: A Retrospective Study of 152 Cases"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Debbie","family":"Clayton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Veterinary Specialists of Sydney, Miranda, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sorcha","family":"Costello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Olive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew S.","family":"Levien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, VCA Animal Care Centre of Sonoma County, Rohnert Park, California, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1636-8622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"QiCai Jason","family":"Hoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Veterinary Specialist Services, Underwood, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun R.","family":"Loh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Southpaws, Malvern East, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alen","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Pet Specialists, Terrey Hills, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"King","family":"Mac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Pet Specialists, Terrey Hills, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evelyn","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9599-3054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel M.","family":"Basa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Veterinary Specialists of Sydney, Miranda, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"06","key":"ref1","first-page":"679","article-title":"Orthopedic therapy under wraps: the pros and cons of external coaptation","volume":"53","author":"G Harasen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"218","DOI":"10.1136\/inpract.31.5.218","article-title":"External coaptation in small animal practice","volume":"31","author":"J Grierson","year":"2009","journal-title":"In Pract"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X221090391","article-title":"Feline femoral fracture fixation: what are the options?","volume":"24","author":"V J Roberts","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X12445002","article-title":"AAFP and ISFM feline-friendly nursing care guidelines","volume":"14","author":"H C Carney","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470699027","volume-title":"A Guide to Canine and Feline Orthopaedic Surgery","author":"H R Denny","year":"2000","edition":"4th ed."},{"issue":"09","key":"ref6","first-page":"541","article-title":"Complications associated with bandaging in small animal practice","volume":"56","author":"P C Bristow","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Small Anim Pract"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"126","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-10-03-0033","article-title":"Soft-tissue injuries associated with cast application for distal limb orthopaedic conditions.
