Humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) was first described as incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle. It is now known that the fissure is a stress fracture in some dogs. The descriptive term HIF is therefore preferred. In young dogs an incomplete ossification cause may still be valid. Symptomatic HIF is treated surgically with a transcondylar implant. The aim is to alleviate lameness and avoid condylar fracture. Choosing an appropriate surgical approach and implant can reduce complications. HIF is not always symptomatic and, in these cases, surgical management is more controversial, because a minority of such cases become lame or fracture.
肱骨内髁裂（HIF）最初被描述为肱骨髁的不完全骨化。现在已知在某些狗中，该裂缝是一种应力性骨折。因此，首选描述性术语 HIF。在幼犬中，不完全骨化的原因可能仍然有效。有症状的 HIF 采用经髁突植入物进行手术治疗。目的是减轻跛行并避免髁突骨折。选择合适的手术入路和植入物可以减少并发症。HIF 并不总是有症状，在这种情况下，手术治疗更具争议性，因为少数此类病例会出现跛行或骨折。
