Plate fixation of iliac shaft fractures in the dog.
In a series of 20 dogs, 23 fractured ilia were reduced and stabilized with a variety of bone plates. The results indicated that fixation was rigid enough for fracture healing and for  the patient to be ambulatory soon after surgery. Plate fixation can therefore be recommended as a reliable method of repair in selected fractures of the canine ilium.
