The use of radiographic visualization of static procedure using, are guiding means to transoperatory implantation of orthopedic element, especially where direct visualization is not possible. The aim of this study was verify, the provents of the transoperatory radiographic procedure in surgery of bone fractures, of dogs and cats. A total of 100 animals, 81 dogs and 19 cats with bone fractures, were used. The first x-ray was obtained after the surgeon had reduced the fracture and/or positioned the metal implants. From the analysis of this transsurgical exam and osseous estructures, if the metalic implants and bone reductions were in absolute accuracy with the principles of orthopedic surgery, the surgeon would conclude the surgery, but if these were not in appropriate place, the necessary arrangements had to be made to relocate it in the right place, and thus more transoperatory radiographic exams were made up the observation of the perfect alignment, positioning or coaptation of fractures and the correct placement of orthopedic implants .It was found that after the transoperatory radiographic examination additional adjustments were necessary for repositioning of metallicimplants and/or bone structures in 95% of procedures. In view of the results, we can conclude that the use of transoperatory radiographic examination in orthopedic surgery of dogs and cats, regardless of the surgeon, animal species or fractured bone is important on the final result of the reductions and stabilizations of fractures, allowing greater efficiency in the placement of the osseous fragments and surgical implants. More specifically in the closed stabilizations or through minimal invasive approach, with the insertion of intramedullary pins and in the cominutive and obliquous type located in the humerus, tibia and calcaneus.
