Elbow

A role for mineral imbalance including copper, sulphur and zinc in the aetiopathogenesis of canine MCPD is suggested.

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and elbow dysplasia (ED) impact the health and welfare of all dogs. The first formally organized assessment scheme to improve canine health centered on reducing the prevalence of these orthopedic disorders.

Although easily performed and well-tolerated, there were no statistically significant benefits of dextrose prolotherapy for treatment of osteoarthritis of the elbow and stifle

This method maintains extension of the joint while permitting its motion thereby promoting rehabilitation

A feasible option that allowed accurate transcondylar screw placement and orientation

The software and methodology proposed enabled an adequate UTN and HT radii curvature assessment in MLE and CT images

Multiple transcondylar convergent or parallel Kirschner wires resulted in adequate fracture healing

CERO surgery may have application for acute correction of axial radial or ulnar incongruency

A feasible option that allowed accurate transcondylar screw placement and orientation

CT, rather than arthroscopy, has been considered the preferred noninvasive technique to assess MCD lesions of the canine elbow joint in the study
