However, Keener et al. (2010) reported that the lateral triceps tendon actually continues further to the level of the lateral aspect of
the proximal ulna and in fact blends with the the superior anconeus fascia and antebrachial fascia.

Elbow incongruency: if the
ulna is shorter than the radius a dynamic
proximal ulnar osteotomy is indicated.
Three portions of the bones participating in the formation of the elbow joint are involved in the development of elbow dysplasia: 1) the anconeal process of the
ulna, which is the most cranial
proximal aspect of the
ulna articulating with the humerus; 2) the humeral condyle, which is the distal aspect of the humerus articulating with both the radius and
ulna; and 3) the coronoid process of the
ulna, which provides the majority of the joint surface contact between the humerus and the
ulna.
The canine elbow joint consists of three joints: 1) the humeroradial joint, between the distal, or lower, end of the humerus and the
proximal, or upper, end of the radius; 2) the humeroulnar joint, between the distal end of the humerus and
proximal end of the
ulna; and 3) the radioulnar joint between the
proximal ends of the radius and the
ulna, respectively.
There is a technique for some areas of the leg (distal radius,
proximal humerus, scapula and
ulna) where there is an alternative to amputation.
At the top (
proximal) end of the
ulna, there are three main processes that concern us (See Fig. 5).
