Elbow Dysplasia
نویسنده
چکیده
The term “elbow dysplasia” has been coined to describe three developmental conditions, osteochondrosis/ osteochondritis dissecans (OC/OCD) of the humeral condyle, ununited anconeal process (UAP), and fragmented coronoid process (FCP), that commonly affect the elbow of many large and giant breeds of dogs. All three conditions share many clinical similarities. Lesions are often bilateral and multiple disease processes can occur concurrently in the same dogs as well as in the same joint. Most commonly osteochondrosis/ osteochondritis dissecans and fragmented coronoid process are recognized concurrently.

Prevalence and breeding values of elbow dysplasia in the Estrela mountain dog
The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and heritability of elbow dysplasia in the Estrela mountain dog breed, to investigate genetic trends over the last 20 years (1990–2009) and to evaluate the association of individual records with breeding values. The elbows of 351 Estrela mountain dogs were examined using the flexed mediolateral radiographic view and evaluated using the Int...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters for hip and elbow dysplasia in Finnish Rottweilers.
Data from 2,764 Rottweiler dogs born from 1987 to 1996 were analyzed with a Restricted Maximum Likelihood procedure using a mixed linear animal model to obtain variance component estimates for hip and elbow dysplasia. The data included 2,764 hip dysplasia and 2,278 elbow dysplasia records. Hip joints were scored as normal (0), borderline (1), slight (2), moderate (3), and severe (4, 4.5, and 5)...
متن کاملExamining Elbow Dysplasia
The terminology of elbow dysplasia (ED) was introduced in 1961 to describe a generalized osteoarthrosis (OA) of the elbow reported in association with an ununited anconeal process (UAP). A report followed that revealed the same OA without the UAP. Over time, fragmentation of the medial coronoid process (FCP) of the ulna and osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral condyle also were descri...
متن کاملCanine Elbow Dysplasia: Anatomy and Pathogenesis*
Canine elbow dysplasia is a complex of diseases that includes ununited anconeal process, fragmented medial coronoid process, osteochondrosis of the medial humeral condyle, and elbow incongruity. Three causes of elbow dysplasia have been proposed: osteochondrosis, trochlear notch dysplasia, and asynchronous growth of the radius and ulna. Genetics, nutritional imbalance, growth disturbances, and ...
متن کاملIncidence of canine elbow dysplasia in South Africa.
In South Africa, 1919 canine elbow dysplasia grading evaluations were performed from 1999-2006. Of these 1827 were evaluated by the senior author and form the basis of this article. Each report recorded the breed, age, sex, side affected and elbow dysplasia grading. The relationship between breed, age, sex, side affected, origin of radiographs and elbow dysplasia incidence was then analysed. St...
متن کاملEfficacy of an oral hyaluronate and collagen supplement as a preventive treatment of elbow dysplasia
One hundred and five Labrador dogs were randomly divided into two groups to determine the number of animals that develop elbow dysplasia when treated with an oral supplement compared to untreated ones. Efficacy of the oral treatment was also evaluated once illness was diagnosed. The supplement (Hyaloral) contained hyaluronic acid, hydrolysed collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, and gamm...
