Abstract
Elbow dysplasia (ED) is a frequent condition in young and young adult dogs and one of the most frequent causes of thoracic limb lameness. The main causes of ED are: ununited anconeal process (UAP), fragmented medial coronoid process of the ulna (FMCP), osteochondrosis/osteochondritis dissecans of the distomedial aspect of the humeral trochlea (OH) and articular incongruity (AI). Radiographic diagnosis of ED poses many challenges to the clinician. OA and AI can be easily detected in radiographic exams, but OH and FMCP may demand further analysis with other imaging modalities for the final diagnosis to be established, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of this review is to discuss the radiographic and tomographic features of ED, as well as the advantages of computed tomographic images in relation to the radiographic exam.
