Surgical management of premature closure of the distal ulnar growth plate in a growing dog.
Surgical management of deformity due to premature closure of the distal ulnar growth plate in a growing dog is discussed. The method of management selected was ulnar diaphyseal ostectomy with transphyseal wiring of the distal radius. Elbow subluxatin and degenerative joint disease as a consequence of premature ulnar closure are also discussed.
