Computed tomographic findings and treatment of an unusual fracture of the proximal ulna in a mature dog

Summary

This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of an unusual fracture of the proximal ulna in a four-year-old male neutered Labrador Retriever dog, the orientation of which has not been reported in the veterinary literature. Computed tomography allowed fracture visualisation and aided surgical planning. Fixation was achieved using a lag screw and an anti-rotational Kirschner wire. Six month follow-up indicated satisfactory outcome with complete return to normal function.
