conservative treatment

Elbow dysplasia, a hereditary disease in dogs, occurs in various forms. These include fragmented medial coronoid process of the ulna (FCP), isolated anconeal process (IPA), and osteochondrosis (OCD). All of these conditions are growth-related disorders that, unfortunately, cannot be cured.

FCP and OCD are among the most common causes of lameness in young dogs. They typically appear between four and five months of age, when the dog is in its central growth phase.
