6 - Elbow Disorder Flashcards
Components of elbow dysplasia
Fragmented medial coronoid process, OCD, Ununited anconeal process
Fragmented medial coronoid process of the ulna
Separation of medial coronoid process from teh ulna
OCD
Medial condyle of the humerus
Ununited anconeal process of the ulna
Separation of ossification center of teh anconeal process
Elbow incongruity
Caused by abnormal development of the radius, ulna, or humerus
Elbow dysplasia is seen in what breed
Large breed dogs
Elbow dysplasia signs begin
4 to 8 months
Males or females are most affected by elbow dysplasia
Males
Elbow dysplasia affects both elbow in % time
30 - 70
Signs of elbow dysplasia
Intermittent lameness, decreased ROM and joint swelling
Where is the effusion usually in elbow dysplasia
Craniomedial compartment or caudolateral
UAP is more likely to cause pain on
Hyperexentesion of the elbow
OCD or FCP more likely to get pain on
Flexion,internal and external rotation with digital pressure applied to medial joint
Best rads for elbow dysplasia
Flex lateral view
For elbow dysplasia on rads you are looking at
Appearance of the anconeal process of the ulna
Clinical signs of lameness in fragmented medial coronoid process
5 - 8 months
Environmental factors of medial coronoid process
Diet and mechanical overload
Ancillary tet for medial coronoid
Rad, CT, arthroscopy
What rad views do you need for medial coronoid
Lateral, flexed lateral, A-P views
OCD medial Humeral condyle occur where
At the medial Humeral trochlear ridge
OCD medial Humeral condyle may be secondary
Ulnar overgrowth and elbow incongruity
OCD medial Humeral condyle signs begin
5 - 8 months
Aftercare leash walks of OCD medial Humeral condyle
2 weeks
Ununited anconeal process
Failure of the anconeal process to unite with olécrannon
OCD of medial Humeral condyle
Failure of endhochondral ossification of the epicondylar - epiphyseal complex
OCD medial Humeral condyle is more likely in what sex
Males
OCD medial Humeral condyle signs begin at
5 - 8 months of age
Treatment of OCD medial Humeral condyle
Surgical removal of flap, arthroscopy
United anconeal process
Failure of the anconeal process to unite with the olecranon
Normal growth plate should be closed at what age
5 - 6 month
Ununited anconeal process is more common in
Males
Sometimes clinical signs of UAP is not shown until
Jumping incipient, or trauma
Preferred Radiograph for UAP
Flexed lateral
Treatment of UAP
Removal of fragment, ulnar osteotomy, screws
After care of treatment of UAP
Soft padded bandage for 7 days , then leash walk for 4 weeks
