The fracture of the left patella was minimally displaced and was treated conservatively. A radiograph of the left patella taken eleven months after initial presentation showed complete healing of the fracture. The second case was treated surgically with a circumferential wire; healing of the fracture was demonstrated radiographically at twelve weeks postoperatively. Radiographic images taken five weeks postoperatively had shown some narrowing of the fracture gap.<\/jats:p><jats:p>These two cases demonstrate that bony union of patellar fractures can be documented, given a long enough duration of radiographic follow-up; circumferential wire was an effective treatment in a displaced fracture, and conservative treatment resulted in complete healing of a minimally displaced fracture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3415\/vcot-11-04-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,27]],"date-time":"2012-02-27T10:29:56Z","timestamp":1330338596000},"page":"155-159","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Healing of patellar fractures in two kittens"],"prefix":"10.3415","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"M.
