63 cases (42 cats, 21 dogs) were treated with a newly developed plate that can be
cut during surgery to the required length and may be sandwiched if one plate is not
rigid enough. The plate is manufactured in lengths of 30 cm and in two different thicknesses,
1.0 mm and 1.5 mm. The thinner plate is used with 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm Cortex screws and
the thicker one with 2.0 or 2.7 mm Cortex screws. Healing was generally uneventful
with the exceptions noted.
