RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY OF THE MEDIAL CORONOID PROCESS OF DOGS

Mediolateral, flexed mediolateral, mediocaudal-laterocranial 15 degree s oblique (extended and supinated mediolateral), and craniolateral-cau domedial 20 degrees to 30 degrees oblique radiographs of 16 elbow-join t specimens were produced to study the radiographic anatomy of the med ial coronoid process. On the mediolateral view, the cranial point of t he coronoid process was at the level of the distal one-third of the ra dial epiphysis. Degree of superimposition of the proximal radius and u lna determined how the medial coronoid process was projected on the ra diographs. Mediocaudal-laterocranial oblique radiographs best showed t he cranial outline of the medial coronoid process with moderate superi mposition of the proximal radius and ulna.
