The purpose of this study was to test if the TVS could be safely applied percutaneously to different feline long bones without fluoroscopic guidance.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003A gap fracture was created in 96 feline humeri, femora and tibiae (n\u2009=\u200932\/group). Paired bones were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: (1) TVS inserted percutaneously with fluoroscopy and (2) TVS inserted percutaneously without fluoroscopy. Intraoperative evaluation (complications, procedure time, attempts), radiographs (pre-\/postoperative alignment, length) and anatomical dissection (neurovascular injury, rotational alignment) were compared between treatment groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The use of fluoroscopy did not lead to significant differences in any of the outcome measures. Intraoperative complications predominantly occurred in the distal humerus (12\/32) and the proximal femur (7\/32). In total, 20\/96 complications occurred with no complications for the tibia. Neurovascular structures were only damaged at the medial side of the distal humerus (10\/32).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Clinical Significance\u2003We conclude that the TVS can be safely applied percutaneously to the tibia and with limitations to the femur in normal cadaveric cats without fluoroscopy. Despite the limitations of a cadaveric study, the high number of complications is leading us to consider the humerus not safe for the TVS. A learning curve has to be expected and technical recommendations should be respected to decrease complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-1691828","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,6]],"date-time":"2019-07-06T22:30:51Z","timestamp":1562452251000},"page":"351-361","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Safety and Accuracy of Minimally Invasive Long Bone Fracture Repair Using a 2.5-mm Interlocking Nail: A Cadaveric Feline Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Katrin","family":"Nabholz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich, Clinic for Small Animal Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Pozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich, Clinic for Small Animal Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philipp A.","family":"Schmierer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich, Clinic for Small Animal Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucas A.","family":"Smolders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich, Clinic for Small Animal Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebastian C.","family":"Knell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vetsuisse Faculty University of Zurich, Clinic for Small Animal Surgery, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,6]]},"container-title":["Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0039-1691828.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,12]],"date-time":"2019-09-12T10:42:20Z","timestamp":1568284940000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0039-1691828"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,6]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,11]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0039-1691828","relation":{},"ISSN":["0932-0814","2567-6911"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0932-0814","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-6911","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,6]]}}}
