Midsagittal fracture of the hard palate in the cat is the most common injury of this area. They are the result of hitting the nose on the ground after a fall or an automobile strike. Stability was achieved with the application of a transfixation pin caudal to the canine teeth and figure-of-8 wire. Implants were removed 4 weeks post operatively.
