This handout will cover the developmental abnormality known
as Fragmented Coronoid Process.
Not exact matches
Fragmented Coronoid Process Small piece of bone broken off the ulna, often referred to
as elbow dysplasia.
The three different conditions are referred to
as an ununited anconeal
process (UAP), a
fragmented coronoid process (FCP), or osteochondritis dissecans (OCD).
The most likely problem that fits the description you have included is a condition usually referred to
as a
fragmented medial
coronoid process.
The initiating events that trigger the inflammatory cascade usually fall into one of two categories, either: 1) abnormal forces imposed on normal joints such
as fractures, sprains, obesity, direct trauma, etc.; or 2) normal forces imposed on abnormal joints such
as elbow or hip dysplasia, osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD), patellar luxation, ununited anchoneal
process,
fragmented coronoid process, cranial cruciate ligament rupture or tear, and other congenital or genetic conformational cartilage, bone or joint defects.
These
processes are referred to
as osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the medial humeral condyle,
fragmented medial
coronoid process (FCP), and ununited anconeal
process (UAP).
Everts (2000) suggested a major gene model for
fragmented coronoid process, which is one form of a growth disorder in the elbow joint, but approximately 80 % of the dog genome was excluded
as a candidate region in a search of markers, under a hypothesis of a recessive inheritance.
Forelimb lameness due to
fragmented medial
coronoid process (a component of elbow dysplasia) is a common orthopedic condition of large breed dogs such
as Labrador Retrievers (Figure 1).
