Complex long-bone fractures with short juxta-articular fracture segments can be difficult to manage. Recently, IMEX Veterinary, Inc., began producing titanium hybrid rods that can be secured to ring components of the IMEX circular external skeletal fixation system to create SK-circular hybrids. In this case series, SK-circular hybrids were used to stabilize long-bone fractures (two femoral, one humeral, and three tibial fractures) with short distal bone segments in three dogs and three cats with body weights ranging from 1.9 to 15 kg (mean, 6.7 kg; median, 5.4 kg). Although three cases required surgical revision, animals ambulated well and all fractures obtained union. Time to radiographic union ranged from 62 to 137 days (mean, 90 days; median, 84 days). The functional outcome was considered excellent in all six cases.
伴有短的近关节骨折段的复杂长骨骨折可能难以处理。最近，IMEX兽医公司开始生产钛混合棒，这种棒可以固定到IMEX环形外骨骼固定系统的环形部件上，以制造SK环形混合固定装置。在本病例系列中，SK环形混合固定装置被用于稳定三只犬和三只猫的长骨骨折（两根股骨、一根肱骨和三根胫骨骨折），这些动物的短远端骨段体重范围为1.9至15千克（平均6.7千克；中位数5.4千克）。尽管有三例需要手术翻修，但动物行走良好，所有骨折均愈合。影像学愈合时间为62至137天（平均90天；中位数84天）。所有六例的功能结局均被认为极佳。
