Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report the computed tomographic (CT) documentation of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) developing after complete ossification of the humeral condyle (HC). STUDY
DESIGN: Clinical report. ANIMALS: Male 3 year old working (English) Cocker Spaniel.
METHODS: Sequential CT screening (659-day interval between analyses).
RESULTS: A sagittal hypodense fissure typical of incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) was identified ≈ 22 months after screening CT examination documented a normal elbow joint.
CONCLUSION: Even in dogs with clinical features typical of the condition most commonly termed IOHC, fissure formation and propagation can occur after ossification is complete. © Copyright 2011 by The American College of Veterinary Surgeons.
