Data reviewed included signalment, fracture classification, complications and radiographic outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003The LLS was used to repair 60 fractures (57 appendicular and 3 axial) in 54 dogs and 6 cats. Mean time to radiographic union was 6 weeks (range: 4\u201316). Radiographic union was achieved in all 60 fractures with 55\/60 healing without recorded complications. Major complications 4\/60 and minor complication 1\/60 rates were low and no catastrophic complications occurred. The most common major complication was surgical site infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003The LLS allowed for successful repair in all 60 cases with a wide variety of fractures. The LLS had a similar complication rate and time to radiographic union to that reported in other veterinary locking plate systems. The LLS is a reliable locking plate system which offers some advantages such as a low-profile plate with the ability to place non-polyaxial to angled polyaxial screws, to treat fractures in dogs and cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1756520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,28]],"date-time":"2022-12-28T23:56:46Z","timestamp":1672271806000},"page":"104-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Retrospective Short-Term Evaluation Using a Polyaxial Plating System in 60 Small Animal Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Haley","family":"Mascellino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MedVet Medical Center for Pets, Worthington, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl","family":"Maritato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MedVet Medical and Cancer Center for Pets, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Barnhart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MedVet Medical Center for Pets, Worthington, Ohio, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Kass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Davis, California, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"08","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1093","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.84B8.0841093","article-title":"Evolution of the internal fixation of long bone fractures.
