Abstract
The 3.5 mm Point Contact Fixator (PC-Fix) was implanted 23 times in our small animal
clinic. Twenty-one fractures of the long bones of the dog were stabilized. In one
case, the PC-Fix was instrumental in the treatment of an osteomyelitis and in another
the PC-Fix was applied when revising a tibial malunion. The implant and instrument
set is straightforward and well suited to achieving the reproducible, simple, rapid
assembly of the PC-Fix whilst preserving the periosteum. The complication rate and
the severity of the complications were assessed as minimal. The results were excellent,
in particular concerning healing time.
