Abstract
The results of 12 dogs with antebrachial deformity treated by ulnar os
tectomy, radial osteotomy and external skeletal fixation are presented
. Postoperative complications were seen in only one dog; a delayed uni
on requiring placement of autogenous cancellous bone graft at a second
surgery to achieve healing. Postoperatively, owners reported limb fun
ction was good in almost all cases, although they were less pleased wi
th the cosmetic appearance.
