N2  - A retrospective study was carried out with the objectives of determining the incidence and associated risk factors  of long bone fractures; establishing the types and frequency of occurrence of fractures of appendicular skeleton;  determining existing protocols for the management of long bone fractures, and the associated complications and  challenges. Data from a three-year period (2017{u2013}2020) was collected from medical records at Animal Hospital  faculty of veterinary medicine Cairo University. The total number of the admitted cases to the hospital and the  clinics during the current study period was 8337 pets (4625 dogs and 3712 cats) with a ratio of 55.5% to 44.5%  respectively. Out of these, 216 surgically treated fracture cases were studied, of which 160 (74.1%) were dogs and  56 (25.9%) cats. Postoperative follow-up was done. Data on each case which included the diagnosis, date, month  and year of occurrence, breed, gender, age, type of fracture, limb affected, bone affected and the description of the  fracture, were obtained and recorded. Protocols for management of long bone fractures, associated complications  and challenges were determined by analyzing data collected through structured questionnaires and review of  patient records in participating practices.The highest incidences of the fracture cases were recorded in mongrel  dogs and cats which may be due to the frequent exposure of stray animals to road traffic accidents. The age of  affected dogs was less than one year and of one to three years old in cats. Higher incidence was recorded in male  dogs and cats than female. Most of the long bone fractures in dogs and cats occurring in hind limbs were found in  the femur, followed by tibia and fibula and in the fore limbs, the fracture of the radius and ulna in dogs and  humerus in cats were the most common sites
