Welcome to OrthoVetInfo!
I created this space so I can share my experience and insights as a veterinary orthopedic surgeon,
offering clear and approachable veterinary orthopedics content that hopefully can be valuable
for owners and veterinary professionals with similar interests.
I invite you to explore the Clinical Cases section, a dedicated space where we examine real-life orthopedic challenges
encountered in veterinary practice, the treatment strategies and the clinical outcome.
UAP
UAP or ununited anconeal process, is a developmental abnormality where the anconeal process, a bony part of the ulna, doesn't fuse with the rest of the ulna during growth. This condition can cause lameness in young, often large breeds dogs. In all cases, the recommended treatment for ununited anconeal process is surgery.
Canine Panosteitis
Canine Panosteitis is an acquired self-limiting inflammatory developmental orthopedic disease that affects rapidly growing large- and giant-breed dogs, typically between 5 and 18 months of age.
