Four cases of bilateral and two cases of unilateral congenital elbow luxation in the dog were reviewed. In all cases, lameness was severe, osseous abnormalities were marked, and the dislocations primarily involved the humeroulnar articulation. Treatment consisted of closed reduction and external support in one dog and surgical reduction and stabilization in four dogs. One dog died before surgery could be performed. Treatment resulted in return of function to the affected limbs, even though osseous abnormalities and varying degrees of malarticulation persisted. Posttreatment observations, for as long as 4 years, demonstrated the persistence of near normal function of the limbs and minimal elbow deformity.
回顾了犬双侧先天性肘关节脱位4例和单侧先天性肘关节脱位2例。所有病例中，跛行严重，骨质异常明显，脱位主要累及肱尺关节。治疗方法包括1只犬采用闭合复位和外部支撑，4只犬采用手术复位和固定。1只犬在手术前死亡。尽管骨质异常和不同程度的关节错位持续存在，但治疗使患肢恢复了功能。长达4年的治疗后观察表明，患肢功能接近正常且肘关节畸形轻微。
