The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of abnormal computed tomography (CT) findings in dogs with lameness of one or both elbows. CT examinations of 102 elbows in 51 dogs were reviewed individually and by group consensus by 3 examiners and graded for various abnormalities. Frequently encountered abnormalities included abnormal shape and sclerosis of the medial coronoid process of the ulna, irregularity of the radial incisure of the ulna, and ulnar trochlear notch sclerosis. Other abnormalities included distinct/separate or fissure/in situ fragmentation of the medial coronoid; lucency of the radial incisure; ununited anconeal process; sclerosis, lucency, or flattening of the medial aspect of the humeral condyle; osteophyte formation; and joint incongruity. In conclusion, CT of the canine cubital joint is useful in identification of various lesions beyond simple fragmentation of the medial coronoid process of the ulna.
本研究的目的是确定一侧或双侧肘部跛行犬的计算机断层扫描（CT）异常表现的发生率。对51只犬的102个肘部进行了CT检查，由3名检查人员分别并通过小组共识进行审查，并对各种异常进行分级。常见的异常包括尺骨内侧冠状突形状异常和硬化、尺骨桡切迹不规则以及尺骨滑车切迹硬化。其他异常包括内侧冠状突明显/分离或裂隙/原位碎裂；桡切迹透亮；肘突未愈合；肱骨髁内侧硬化、透亮或扁平；骨赘形成；以及关节不协调。总之，犬肘关节CT有助于识别除尺骨内侧冠状突简单碎裂之外的各种病变。
