He might need a Ulnar Ostectomy. His radius and ulna bones might have grown to different lengths which pushes on the elbow causing it to twist. They will do a cat scan and if necessary cut one of the bones to shorten it so it does not twist the elbow. It has caused him pain for about 2 month now with him limping and lifting his foot off the ground when standing. We originally thought it was a soft tissue injury but it continued to be a problem even with restricted activity and medication. When we consulted with the Orthopedic Surgeon he felt that this might be the issue as nothing showed up on the xrays. So he will do the cat scan and then determine whether it is a soft tissue injury or the growth deformity. |
