Elbow dysplasia

is a medical term used to identify a series of inherited diseases of the elbow.  Elbow dysplasia may include fragmented medial coronoids (FMC) of the ulna, osteochondritis (OCD) of the humeral condyle or united anconeal processes (UAP).  Elbow dysplasia is associated with pain and lameness.  Diagnosis by your veterinarian is based on physical examination and X-rays of the elbow.
