Ulnar Growth Arrest: When the Radius Keeps Going


Listen Later

In this episode of BoardsCast, we dive into one of the most classic causes of angular limb deformity in young dogs: ulnar growth arrest.

We cover:

  • Why the distal ulnar physis is vulnerable to closure
  • How continued radial growth creates predictable deformities
  • The “radius curvus” pattern: valgus, procurvatum, and external rotation
  • Diagnosis using joint orientation angles and axis mismatch
  • Surgical options including ulnar ostectomy, radial osteotomy, and growth modulation
  • When to intervene — and how to avoid overcorrection or joint collapse

This is the episode that connects growth plate injury, biomechanics, and surgical strategy — all in one high-yield package.
