Data included age, sex, weight, cause of the fracture, fractured bone(s) and fracture type. Complications were classified as minor and major complications. Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression analysis were used to test whether certain variables of signalment and interlocking nail configuration had an effect on the occurrence of complications.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Sixty-seven fractures of 67 cats were examined in this study. Forty-eight femora, sixteen tibiae and three humeri were included. Complications occurred in 11\/67 fractures. Major complications occurred in 8\/67 fractures and included screw breakage (n\u2009=\u20093), nail breakage (n\u2009=\u20092), nail bending (n\u2009=\u20091), screw loosening (n\u2009=\u20091), non-union (n\u2009=\u20091). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between fracture types and the occurrence of major complications (p\u2009=\u20090.02).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003In conclusion,
