Elbow dysplasia is a condition involving multiple developmental abnormalities of the elbow-joint in the dog, specifically the growth of cartilage or the structures surrounding it. These abnormalities, known as 'primary lesions', give rise to osteoarthritic processes. [1] Elbow dysplasia is a common condition of certain breeds of dogs.
The radius can thus glide on the capitulum during elbow flexion-extension while simultaneously rotate about its own main axis during supination-pronation. [2] Between the capitulum and the trochlea of the humerus is the capitulotrochlear groove. A semi-lunar surface around the circumference of head is shaped to articulate continuously with this ...
Biceps brachia: originates on the supraglenoid tubercle and inserts on the ulnar and radial tuberosities. It acts to flex the elbow and extend the shoulder. It is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve. Brachialis: originates on the lateral surface of humerus and inserts on the ulnar and radial tuberosities. It acts to flex the elbow.
The oblique cord is a ligament between the ulnar and radius bones in the forearm near the elbow.It takes the form of a small, flattened band, extending distally and laterally, from the lateral side of the ulnar tuberosity at the base of the coronoid process to the radius a little below the radial tuberosity.

A fracture within the capsule of the elbow joint results in the fat pad sign or "sail sign" which is a displacement of the fat pad at the elbow. Illustration showing radius shaft fracture. Essex-Lopresti fracture – a fracture of the radial head with concomitant dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint with disruption of the interosseous ...
It occurs between the circumference of the head of the radius and the ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament. [2] The interosseous membrane of the forearm and the annular ligament stabilise the joint. [2] A number of nerves run close to the proximal radioulnar joint, including: median nerve; musculocutaneous nerve ...
The composition of the triangular ligamentous structure on the lateral side of the elbow varies widely between individuals [1] and can be considered either a single ligament, [2] in which case multiple distal attachments are generally mentioned and the annular ligament is described separately, or as several separate ligaments, [1] in which case parts of those ligaments are often described as ...
Buck-Gramcko described another operation technique, for treatment of radial dysplasia, which is called radialization. During radialization the metacarpal of the index finger is pinned onto the ulna and radial wrist extensors are attached to the ulnar side of the wrist, causing overcorrection or ulnar deviation.
