head - fovea
neck
body
distal end of radius
trochlea
styloid process
ulnar notch
proximal end of ulna
olecranon process
anconeal process
trochlear notch

distal end of ulna
styloid process
what is radial notch of ulna held by
annular ligament
palpation of ulna
olecranon process

clinical considerations
radius fractures as most weight bearing
primary bone tumours (osteosarcoma)
bones involved in elbow joint
radius ulna and humerus
trochlea and capitulum of humerus
what does the trochlea and capitulum of the humerus articulate with in the elbow joint
trochlea - trochlear notch and fovea capitis of radius
capitulum - fovea capitis of radius
movement of elbow joint
flexion and extension
rotation possible but dogs limited
clinical considerations of the elbow joint
elbow dysplasia
osteochondrosis
dislocation
degenerative joint disease
