The objective of the study was to evaluate, retrospectively, carpal and tarsal arthrodesis in small dogs and cats by using veterinary cuttable plates in 6 animals and comparing those with arthrodesis stabilized with other implants in 9 animals. Veterinary cuttable plates were used for 1 pancarpal, 2 partial tarsal, and 3 pantarsal arthrodeses. Other implants were used to stabilize 1 pancarpal, 6 partial tarsal, and 2 pantarsal arthrodeses. In the veterinary cuttable plates group, complications included 2 cases with pressure sores and 1 case with screw loosening. One animal was lost to follow-up and 4 of the remaining 5 were always weight-bearing. In the other group, there were 2 cases with pressure sores, 1 case with dermatitis, and 2 cases with pin migration. Six out of 9 animals were always weight-bearing. The use of veterinary cuttable plates appears to be a suitable option with a good clinical outcome.
本研究的目的是回顾性评估在6只小动物（犬和猫）中使用兽用可切割钢板进行腕关节和跗关节融合术，并与9只使用其他植入物固定融合术的动物进行比较。兽用可切割钢板用于1例全腕关节、2例部分跗关节和3例全跗关节融合术。其他植入物用于固定1例全腕关节、6例部分跗关节和2例全跗关节融合术。在兽用可切割钢板组，并发症包括2例压疮和1例螺钉松动。1只动物失访，其余5只中有4只始终负重。在另一组中，有2例压疮、1例皮炎和2例钢针移位。9只动物中有6只始终负重。使用兽用可切割钢板似乎是一种具有良好临床效果的合适选择。
