Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle is a cause of forelimb lameness in dogs. Affected dogs are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle has been reported in breeds such as Spaniel, Rottweiler, Labrador and Pug. Diagnosis is made by a radiographic or computed tomographic study of the elbow, while treatment includes the placement of a bone screw across the humeral condyle. This paper discusses the computed tomography findings of incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle in three Pinschers.

Abstract

Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle is a cause of forelimb lameness in dogs. Affected dogs are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle has been reported in breeds such as Spaniel, Rottweiler, Labrador and Pug. Diagnosis is made by a radiographic or computed tomographic study of the elbow, while treatment includes the placement of a bone screw across the humeral condyle. This paper discusses the computed tomography findings of incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle in three Pinschers.
