Bodyweight ranged from 1.9 to 6.6\u2009kg. Number of metabones fractured: all four (60%), three (30%) and two (10%). Anatomical alignment was restored for each metabone. External coaptation was not used in any case. Radiographic follow\u2010up documented clinical or bony union in all cases. Mean time to clinical union was 51\u2009days. One major complication (screw removal) and two minor complications (partial construct failure) were observed. All patients made a complete functional recovery at the time of documented union. Long\u2010term follow\u2010up was available in five cases. No lameness (evaluated independently by both surgeons) or plate sensitivity was noted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first clinical evaluation of the VetKISS for metabone fracture repair, and includes long\u2010term follow\u2010up. Results demonstrated complete functional recovery and 100% clinical union rates in all patients, with acceptable complication rates. This system can be considered for metabone repair in patients weighing &lt;7\u2009kg without the use of external coaptation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.13767","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]],"date-time":"2024-08-09T05:47:06Z","timestamp":1723182426000},"page":"770-775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical experience and outcomes using a commercially available micro\u2010plating system for metabone fractures in dogs and cats: 10 cases (2019\u20102023)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"D.
