In this episode of BoardsCast, we dive deep into the elbow — one of the most complex and commonly scoped joints in small animal orthopedics. Focused on the conditions grouped under “elbow dysplasia,” we examine fragmented coronoid process (FCP), osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD), and elbow incongruency through the lens of Chapter 71 in Tobias & Johnston’s Veterinary Surgery (2nd ed).

You’ll learn:

• How elbow anatomy sets the stage for dysplasia
• What imaging and intra-articular landmarks guide your scope
• Where to look for FCP and OCD lesions
• How incongruent joints appear — and how to measure or model it
• Treatment options for each condition: from fragment removal to osteotomy
• How board questions frame these conditions in terms of scope, findings, and outcomes

Whether you’re treating a limping Lab or prepping for a boards question on elbow incongruency, this episode brings clarity to the joint that never quite fits together.
