title: Incomplete humeral condylar fractures in the dog.
abstract: The details of eight dogs (11 elbows) referred to the authors with lameness relating to elbow pain associated with incomplete fracture of the humeral condyle were reviewed. In all cases, a diagnosis was reached by radiographic examination, with the pathognomonic feature being a radiolucent line, in the sagittal plane, through the condyle. Treatment involved placement of a transcondylar bone screw with or without bone tunnels being created parallel to this implant. Six dogs (nine elbows) made a complete recovery without subsequent complications.
