Abstract
An acute weight-bearing lameness in the left front limb following a sl ight trauma happened in a male, one-year-old Boxer. Clinical and radio graphic findings suggested a fractured anconeal process. Such a fractu re after mild trauma is uncommon and indicates the possibility of a di sorder in the area of the growth plate between anconeal process and ul na. Therefore this case could be related to the complex of the ununite d anconeal process, too.
