Case Study
RAD – OFA elbows with grade 1 and borderline arthritic changes in a 2 year old F Springer Spaniel
DX
On the provided mediolateral views of both elbows there is no evidence of a primary lesion covered under the collective term elbow dysplasia. However, mild and emerging arthritic changes are noted for the right & left elbow respectively. - The noted changes would entail grade 1 for the right and borderline for the left elbow according to the scoring system of the international elbow working group (IEWG).
Image Interpretation
Right elbow: The anconeal process is fused to the ulna. A small, well delineated osteophyte of less than 2 mm height is seen proximally on the anconeal process.Moderate sclerosis of the trochlear notch of the ulna is seen along with the course of the capsular attachment of the elbow joint.
Left elbow: The anconeal process is fused to the ulna. A well delineated double outline is seen proximally at the anconeal process. mild sclerosis of the trochlear notch of the ulna is seen along with the course of the capsular attachment of the elbow joint.
Outcome
The clinical significance of the findings is very questionable.
