Abstract: After the fracture of the tibia and fibula of a cat, because the tibia and fibula of the cat is very small and proximal adhered to rich muscle, but there is little muscle in distal, if only using the internal fixation or external fixation, the results are not satisfactory. In this paper, the fracture of tibia and fibula of the cat was stabilized by using pin and wire and also strengthened on the outside with a splint bandage. Postoperative recovery was good. The aim of writing this paper is to hope to provide some references for the stabilization of the fracture of tibia and fibula of cats.

Key words: cat; fracture; tibia and fibula; fixation; external fixation
