Özet

Objectives: This study aims to examine pelvic fractures in cats brought to the XXXX University Animal Health and Research Hospital between 2018 and 2023. Materials and Methods: Using a retrospective design, the study analyzed data from 144 cats. Results: The data revealed that pelvic fractures generally occurred as a result of traumatic events such as motor vehicle accidents and falls from heights. Of the 259 fracture cases studied, it was determined that 24.32% were pubic fractures, 23.54% were sacroiliac separations, 19.69% were ischial fractures, 12.74% were ilial fractures, 10.42% were symphysis pelvis separations, 7.72% were acetabular fractures, and 1.54% were sacral fractures. Patients in the study were treated conservatively or operatively (using methods such as iliosacral screws, acetabular C plates, locked plates, cerclage wires, and dorsal laminectomy). Conclusions: In conclusion, operative treatment plays a significant role in the management of pelvic fractures, and the suitability of surgery should be carefully evaluated. Clinical outcomes indicated that cats undergoing operative treatment achieved more favorable results and higher discharge rates.
