The Gold Standard in Veterinary Imaging Diagnostic Evaluation
Elbow dysplasia describes developmental disorders causing incongruity,cartilage damage, and osteoarthritis progression. Common clinical findings include chronic forelimblameness, elbow pain, and effusion. Radiographs are the first-line imaging to assess osteophytes,incongruity, and sclerosis. CT best defines fragmented osteochondral structures, while MRI evaluatescartilage and soft-tissue injury; ultrasound is seldom primary.
