After complete orthopaedic examination, two radiographic views were taken for final confirmation of the elbow luxation. Haemato-biochemical tests were also performed in all the cases. The total of six cases was presented for elbow luxation and all were having lateral luxation. General anesthesia with propofol was done predemicated with xylazine in all the dogs and maintained with isoflurane before intervention. In all the cases closed reduction was attempted and stabilised with modified Robert jones bandaging and incorporated with aluminium splints.
