The term elbow dysplasia refers to ununitedanconeal process (UAP), fragmented medial cronoid process (FCP), osteochondrosis of the medial humeral condyle (OCD) and elbow incongruency (EI). A total of 888 dogs were assembled in this study with a history of thoracic limb lameness. All dogs were evaluated through physical, orthopedic and radiographicalsceening. Radiographic diagnosis of elbow dysplasia was based on the detection of primary ED lesions ( JI, UAP, FCP and OCD) or the detection of secondary osteoarthritic changes. It was revealed that 72 dogs (8%) of the examined dogs had ED.The affected dogs were of different breeds and ages (48 cases>12 months) and (24 cases<12 months). The majority of the recorded dysplastic dogs were of males (53 dogs) (73.6%) and females(19) accounted for (26.4%). Conservative treatment which comprised rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and physiotherapy was used in 66 cases in variable outcomes. Surgical intervention was limited to 6 cases with the ununited or fragmented anconeal process UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
