ELBOW SUBLUXATION DUE TO ASYNCHRONOUS GRO WTH OF RADIUS AND ULNA IN THE DOG

Physes lesions of radius and ulna are frequent in the dog. They genera ly involve trauma (the most frequent) or general disease (chondrodystr ophy). They induce deformities of the radius and ulna (varus, radius, curvus...) and frequently elbow subluxation due to shortening of radiu s or ulna. The incongruency of the joint is painful and results in ost eoarthritis which is particularly worrying according to the young age of the dogs. Surgical treatment must be performed as soon as possible and aims to restore elbow joint congruency either by shortening or len gthening one of the two bones of the antebrachium.
