Today’s case is a 1-year-old mixed breed dog with right thoracic limb lameness. What are your findings?
There is severe incongruity of the elbow with marked increase in width of the humeroradial joint. This is exacerbated on the flexed lateral projection. The medial coronoid process of the ulna is radiolucent and irregular, and there is sclerosis of the anconeal process of the ulna. Osteophytes are visible on the cranial and medial aspects of the radius and humeral condyle.
Elbow dysplasia with severe incongruity and secondary fragmented medial coronoid process and osteoarthrosis.
Radiographs of the left elbow revealed milder abnormalities. CT examination confirmed bilateral fragmented medial coronoid process and arthroscopy was performed to remove the fragments. Ulnar osteotomy of the right ulna was performed to address the elbow incongruity.
