The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of pelvic fractures in cats and
to evaluate the causes of trauma, morbidity and mortality. The study included 224
cats of various breeds, sexes and ages that presented with pelvic injuries between
February 2022 and December 2023. Data were collected using the hospital's patient
database and by surveying pet owners by telephone. Data included sex, type of
trauma, concomitant injuries with pelvic trauma, treatment methods and outcomes
including mortality and morbidity. According to Messmer and Montavon's
alphanumeric pelvic fracture classification, unilateral sacroiliac luxation was found
in 23.2% of cases (n=52), bilateral sacroiliac luxation in 23.7% of cases (n=53), and
bilateral corpus ilium fracture in 25% of cases (n=56). The most common injuries
associated with pelvic fractures were pneumothorax in 36.6% (n=82) of cases,
pulmonary contusion in 21% (n=47) of cases, hindlimb fractures in 21.8% (n=49)
of cases, urinary incontinence due to peripheral nerve injury in 10.8% of cases, and
forelimb fractures in 7.1% (n=16) of cases. Prognosis was excellent in 41.1% (n=92),
good in 30.8% (n=69), poor in 1.3% (n=3) and death in 26.8% (n=60). Injuries to the
nonweightbearing and unilateral weightbearing portions of the pelvis generally had
a favorable outcome. However, as the number of bilateral fractures and injuries to
the weightbearing portions of the pelvis increased, the mortality rate also increased.
