OBJECTIVES
Aims of this study were to radiographically evaluate elbow congruity and to explore associations between elbow incongruity and lameness in Skye terriers.
METHODS
Mediolateral, 90°-flexed, elbow joint radiographs were obtained for 45 Skye terriers. Elbow joint incongruity was graded mild, moderate or severe by measuring the width of the humeroulnar joint space. A questionnaire provided information on lameness history for each dog.
RESULTS
In total, 49% (22/45) of the dogs had moderate or severe elbow joint incongruity which associated with lameness. Owner-reported lameness was common: 15/45 (33%) dogs had been lame when less than one year old, and 6 (14%) had been lame at an older age. All dogs presenting with lameness when older than one year had also been lame in adolescence.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Lameness and moderate-to-severe elbow joint incongruity were common in Skye terriers and the two were associated. A novel protocol for radiographic screening of elbow joint incongruity of chondrodystrophic breeds is suggested.
目的
本研究旨在通过影像学评估斯凯梗犬的肘关节协调性，并探讨肘关节不协调与跛行之间的关联。
方法
对45只斯凯梗犬进行了肘关节的内外侧、90°屈曲位X线片拍摄。通过测量肱尺关节间隙宽度，将肘关节不协调分为轻度、中度或重度。通过问卷调查获取每只犬的跛行病史信息。
结果
总体而言，49%（22/45）的犬存在中度或重度肘关节不协调，且与跛行相关。主人报告的跛行情况很常见：15/45（33%）的犬在不到一岁时就出现过跛行，6只（14%）在较大年龄时出现过跛行。所有一岁以后出现跛行的犬在青春期也都曾跛行。
临床意义
跛行和中度至重度肘关节不协调在斯凯梗犬中很常见，且二者相关。建议采用一种新的方案对软骨发育不良品种的肘关节不协调进行影像学筛查。
