Résumé
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, complications, and outcomes of external fixation (EF) for the treatment of sacral fractures in dogs, either as a primary fixation system or as a complementary technique. A total of 15 dogs with sacral fractures were surgically treated using different EF configurations, either as primary or secondary stabilization. The results were evaluated for the extent of fracture reduction, stability during treatment, complications, and bone healing. In most cases, the outcomes were excellent in terms of bone healing, neurological conditions, and pain assessment. The mean bone healing time was 9.45 ± 5.66 weeks. One (6.66%) patient presented a complication due to the technique. In conclusion, the use of EF should be considered for the stabilization of sacral fractures because of its minimal invasiveness, stability, and ease of application.
