title: A tension band technique for stabilisation of sacroiliac separations in cats.
abstract: A tension band technique was used in conjunction with a transarticular pin to stabilise 24 sacroiliac separations in 19 cats. The authors suggest that this technique is simpler and safer than the transarticular screw technique, and as effective.
