Ununited anconeal process in the dog
Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract.
1998 Jan.
Abstract
Recent data suggest that the cause of ununited anconeal process (UAP) is an incongruous growth of the radius and the ulna, causing abnormal pressure on the anconeal process. The current recommendation for treatment of UAP is to perform an osteotomy of the ulna to relieve this pressure and thus allow the anconeal process to unite. The operation should be performed as early as possible, before secondary changes have developed. Prognosis with treatment is favorable, even in active and working dogs.
