Lecture 2: Small Animal Antebrachium and Elbow Flashcards
Identify the following arrows with corresponding colors
Yellow dot: capitulum
Purple dot: radial head
Red: supratrochlear foramen (anconeal process peaking through)
Pink: trochlea
Green: medial coronoid process (ulna)
identify the following arrows with corresponding color
Green: radial head
Purple: anconeal process
Yellow: olecranon
Is the capitulum on medial or lateral side of elbow and what does it articulate with
Lateral, articulates mainly with radius
Is the trochlea medial or lateral and what does it articulate with
Medial and articulates with ulna
identify the red, purple and green arrows
Red: ulna
Purple: capitulum
Green: trochlea

- Proximal radioulnar joint
- Medial coronoid process of ulna
- Head of radius
- Condyle of humerus
- Cranial border of medial epicondyle of humerus
- Cranial border of lateral epicondyle of humerus
identify the arrows with corresponding colors
Purple: anconeal process
Green: radial head
Red: semilunar notch
Pink: olecranon
Blue: medial coronoid process
identify the following arrows and corresponding colors
Pink: olecranon
Blue: lateral coronoid process
Red: radial head
Green: anconeal process
Yellow: medial coronoid process
identify 1-11
- Olecranon tuber
- Anconeal process
- Trochlear notch
- Medial coronoid process
- Ulnar tuberosity
- Interosseous border
- Articular circumference
- Styloid process

identify which one is cat vs dog and what is the yellow arrow pointing to
Left: cat
- yellow arrow: Supra-condyloid foramen
Right: dog
- yellow arrow: supratrochlear foramen
What nerve and artery run through the supracondylar foramen in cats
Median nerve and brachial artery
What nerve and artery runs through the supra-trochlear foramen in dogs
NONE! Only cats have median nerve and brachial artery through foramen on humerus
Case ex: Ruger 6mo MI with 2 week hx of left forelimb lameness, no known. Stiff when gets up and sore after activity. Elbow is mildly painful on manipulation.
Following X-ray was taken. What’s Wrong
Ununited anconeal process
Ex case Ruger cont: ununited anconeal process: when should anconeal process physis close
By 5 months
What are some possible repair solutions for an ununited anconeal process
Can remove process, pin but not super common
Will removing ununited anconeal process affect bone growth?
No because the that joint contributes a very small % of growth and it should be closed at 5 months anyway when dog is still growing
Case ex: Heidi, 11mo FS Labrador retriever with progressive forelimb lameness for 3 months, stiffness after rest, sore with activity, no known trauma. The following X-ray was taken. What’s wrong?
Fragmented medial coronoid process
Does the following X-ray show a normal or fragmented medial coronoid process
normal
does the following X-ray show a normal or fragmented medial coronoid process
Fragmented, no clear line present between radius and ulna. Indicated by black arrow
what is indicated by O in X-ray showing fragmented medial coronoid process
Osteophyte- bone fragment
which X-ray is normal and what is wrong with abnormal one
Left: normal
Right: abnormal, fragmented medial coronoid process- showing bone fragment. Also edge of articulation between humerus and radius is more blunt opposed to sharp edges
which elbow X-ray is abnormal and why
Left: normal
Right: abnormal- large space between radius and humerus
