Description
This presentation offers a review of canine developmental elbow diseases, covering their aetiopathogenesis, the diagnostics involved, and the available treatment options. A triad of pathologies has been historically-grouped under the generic term of Elbow Dysplasia; these include medial coronoid disease, osteochondrosis, and ununited anconeal process. As well as these three conditions we will also cover humeral intracondylar fissures; and how elbow incongruity contributes to all of these problems. We'll delve into the origins and progression of these conditions; providing a clear understanding of their underlying mechanisms. There will be a concise overview of current diagnostic approaches, shedding light on the tools and techniques used in practice today. We’ll also examine the established and emerging treatments available for managing and potentially mitigating the effects of these diseases.
