Five cats with fracture of the talar neck were treated using external skeletal fixation (ESF). In four of the cases, ESF was the only fixation technique used and this was applied in a closed manner coupled with traction. In the remaining cat, ESF was used in combination with a lag screw. All the fractures eventually healed, demonstrating that ESF provided a simple and effective method of treatment for these cases.
五只患有距骨颈骨折的猫接受了外骨骼固定（ESF）治疗。在其中四只猫的病例中，ESF是唯一使用的固定技术，并且是以闭合方式结合牵引应用的。在其余那只猫的病例中，ESF与拉力螺钉联合使用。所有骨折最终均愈合，表明ESF为这些病例提供了一种简单有效的治疗方法。
