Generally Sonography Atlas of Dogs

Muscoskeletal System - Elbow

(Muskoskelettales System - Ellbogengelenk)


dog ultrasonography ultrasound / hund sonographie ultraschall

Primary flexor enthesopathy. Medial (A) and dorsal (B) views of the elbow of a 14 month-old Golden retriever dog produced with computed tomographic (CT) volume-rendering, with the overlying transverse and longitudinal planes used to produce the sonographc images on the right (respectively).  Large (M) and small (m) mineral fragments are depicted in all images. These mineral bodies are embedded in a heterogeneous mass of moderate echogenicity (arrowheads) consistent with fibrous and metaplastic soft tissue, in part confluent with some of the flexor tendons (T). Note the stronger acoustic enhancement associated with the larger mineral bodies.

Fragmentation of the medial coronoid process. A: Medial view of the elbow of a 12 month-old Labrador retriever dog produced with computed tomographic (CT) volume-rendering, on which the fragmentation of the medial coronoid process (FMCP) is well visualized. B: This longitudinal sonographic image was obtained with the probe placed medially on the joint, the marker oriented proximally.  The joint capsule is distended and thickened (arrowhead) and a gap (arrow) is present at the distal aspect of the medial coronoid process (MCP). The humeral condyle (HC) is mildly irregular. C and D: Corresponding transverse CT (C) and sonographic (D) images in which a fissure (arrows) extends through the MCP. The joint capsule is distended (arrowhead). R, radial head. U, ulna.
