We proposed that the Fixin mini system would successfully stabilize long bone fractures in cats with a healing time and complication rate similar to those previously reported for feline fractures using other locking bone plate systems.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Materials and Methods\u2003Medical records and radiographs of cats with long bone fractures stabilized with the Fixin mini 1.9 to 2.5 system were retrospectively reviewed. Signalment, body weight, bone(s) fractured, region of bone fractured, fracture classification, concurrent orthopaedic injuries, complications, time to functional union, if minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis techniques were used, plate size, number of plates, bone graft use and ancillary methods of fixation were recorded.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003Fifty-six fractures in 54 cats were included. Mean time to radiographic union was 8.8 weeks. Complications were recorded in 8 out of 56 fractures. Major complications occurred in 4 of 56 fractures and minor complications occurred in 4 of 56 fractures.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003The Fixin mini 1.9 to 2.5 system had an overall complication rate and time to functional union similar to that of other implant systems used to treat feline long bone fractures and it appears suitable for repair of a wide variety of long bone fracture configurations in cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1713005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,20]],"date-time":"2020-09-20T22:33:12Z","timestamp":1600641192000},"page":"443-450","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fracture Repair in Cats Using a Conical Coupling Mini 1.9 to 2.5\u2009mm Locking Plate System"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Francesca C.","family":"Ferrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Albese per Animali da Compagnia, Alba, Cuneo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro Boero","family":"Baroncelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Albese per Animali da Compagnia, Alba, Cuneo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caleb C.","family":"Hudson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists, Houston, Texas, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Peirone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Pathology, University of Turin, Grugliasco, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ullrich","family":"Reif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tierklinik Dr. Reif, Sch\u00f6nhardterstr, B\u00f6bingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Piras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Pathology, University of Turin, Grugliasco, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"390","DOI":"10.1136\/inpract.27.8.390","article-title":"Repair of long bone fractures in cats","volume":"27","author":"H Scott","year":"2005","journal-title":"In Pract"},{"key":"ref2"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X11432827","article-title":"Complex and open fractures: a straightforward approach to management in the cat","volume":"14","author":"S Corr","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1632936","article-title":"The ComPact UniLock 2.0\/2.4 system and its clinical application in small animal orthopedics","volume":"18","author":"M A Keller","year":"2005","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-08-09-0084","article-title":"Repair of long-bone fractures in cats and small dogs with the Unilock mandible locking plate system","volume":"22","author":"K Voss","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"175","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-08-06-0050","article-title":"Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis: applications and techniques in dogs and cats","volume":"22","author":"C C Hudson","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-14-08-0120","article-title":"Impact of fixation method on postoperative complication rates following surgical stabilization of diaphyseal tibial fractures in cats","volume":"28","author":"K L Perry","year":"2015","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"248","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.12061","article-title":"A comparison between fixation methods of femoral diaphyseal fractures in cats -
