METASPLINTS Metasplints (Mason metasplints) are used to immobilize the extremities distal to the mid-antebrachium in the forelimb and distal to the hock in the hindlimb. These splints are not suitable for immobilization of the proximal radius and ulna, the elbow joint, or the talocrural joint. INITIAL TREATMENT OF FRACTURES CLOSED FRACTURES Fractures proximal to the elbow and stifle joints are typically not immobilized prior to definitive repair26. Scapular, humeral, pelvic, and femoral fractures are generally closed because of the greater soft tissue coverage.
Particular attention should be paid to thoracic trauma (pneumothorax, hemothorax, pulmonary contusions), neurologic injuries (cranial trauma, spinal fractures/luxations), abdominal injuries (hemorrhage, bladder ruptures, hernias), and concurrent orthopedic injures (fractures, luxations). 3. The fracture site is radiographed to document the severity of the orthopedic injury and aid selection of the appropriate fracture fixation method. 4. When the cat is stable, the initial evaluation of the wound is begun.
In comminuted fractures, disruptive forces acting at the fracture site may be quite large, particularly if weight-bearing load is not shared between the bone and the implants after fracture reduction. Fracture configuration, available implants and equipment, surgeon preference and experience, expense, and owner compliance with postoperative care procedures are also considered when selecting an appropriate repair method.
