Follow\u2010up radiographs were scheduled at 4 and 8 weeks and again 6 months postoperatively. The end point for each case was determined radiographically by a healed fracture. Complications were defined as minor or major. Clinical outcome was subjectively assessed by a full orthopedic examination and follow\u2010up radiographs.

Median body weight was 3.7 kg (range, 1.67\u20138.41 kg) for cats and 8.15 kg (range, 2.68\u201313.6 kg) for dogs. Median radiographic follow\u2010up was 16 weeks. All fractures with follow\u2010up radiographs available (n=46) were healed with no infections reported. A total of 12 postoperative complications occurred: 3 minor (slippage of the locking screws) and 9 major (5 femoral\u2014irritation of the sciatic nerve, stress protection, fracture because of a missed fissure, femoral neck fracture, intra\u2010operative revision with a rod and plate; 4 tibial\u20143 with protrusion of the distal locking screw through the skin and 1 with in\u2010growth of the intramedullary nail).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Implantation of the Targon<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> Vet System was feasible in all cases.
