- Abstract
Objective: To report the computed tomographic (CT) documentation of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) developing after complete ossification of the humeral condyle (HC). Study Design: Clinical report. Animals: Male 3 year old working (English) Cocker Spaniel. Methods: Sequential CT screening (659-day interval between analyses). Results: A sagittal hypodense fissure typical of incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) was identified ~22 months after screening CT examination documented a normal elbow joint. Conclusions: Even in dogs with clinical features typical of the condition most commonly termed IOHC, fissure formation and propagation can occur after ossi- fication is complete.
