Humeral condylar fractures and incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle in dogs

HUMERAL condylar fractures are among the most common fractures seen in dogs and account for approximately 20 per cent of the author's canine fracture caseload, although this is a referral population and probably does not represent the true incidence of these injuries. It has long been recognised that spaniels are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. It is now recognised that many of these dogs have a condition known as incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) that predisposes them to condylar fractures, often occurring during normal activity or associated with only minor trauma. This article discusses the management of humeral condylar fractures and IOHC.
