The aim of this study to compare clinical examination and radiographical evaluations of Tie-in configurations in clinical cases which is indicated and results of cats long extremity fractures. The study material consisted of 23 cats of different breed, age and gender, who were fractured in extremity long bones as a result of clinical and radiographic examinations brought with the complaint of not being able to use the front or hind limbs. The tie-in configuration was applied in 2 humerus, 15 femur, 4 tibia, 1 femur and tibia and 1 humerus and femur fractures (total; 3 humerus, 17 femur, 5 tibia). Postoperative 10,21,30,45 th days clinical and radiographical examinations of cases performed. Modified Tie-in external fixator removed at 45-60 th days after the operation. Followed up 22 cases recovered without any problems and one case did not result in functional recovery after infection of the operation site. In conclusion, it was declined that the Tie-in configuration method is succesful to stabilize the fracture line of long bone fractures during reduction of fracture bone fragments in the cats.
