Tuxedo's question about External Fixation

Question

My cat had a  femur fracture and got a n external fixation that became loose, the  vethas removed  it. I would like to know if there is any chance another fixation is put in place. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

The decision to do another external fixation, internal fixation, cast or other treatment would be down to the severity of the injury and your Veterinarian’s discretion. Each case is treated individually and the best option is chosen whether it is external fixation or another method. Without examining Mirruno, knowing the timeline (how long was everything in place for) and seeing x-rays etc… I cannot say whether he should have another surgery or not, you should discuss with your Veterinarian.
