Objectives:
To describe the development of fragmentation of the medial coronoid process (FMCP) following antebrachial synostosis as a sequela to a radius ulna fracture in an adult dog.
Animal:
A 6-year-old male neutered Siberian Husky.
Study Design:
Case report.
Methods:
A male neutered Siberian Husky presented with bilateral complete fractures of the radius and ulna after being hit by a car. Bilateral antebrachial fracture repair was performed with dual plating. Unilateral radioulnar synostosis was identified 1 year post fracture repair. Acute progression of lameness occurred 3 years postoperative with elbow computed tomography (CT) and arthroscopy identifying FMCP.
Results:
Limb function improved after arthroscopic removal of the fragmented medial coronoid process.
Conclusion:
The pathogenesis of medial coronoid process disease remains unclear, with joint incongruity or instability considered most likely. This report describes the development of FMCP following synostosis of the radius and ulna in an adult dog.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
