Elbow dysplasia is the most common cause of forelimb lameness in large-breed dogs. It is not a single condition but a group of developmental abnormalities — including ununited anconeal process (UAP), fragmented coronoid process (FCP/MCPD), osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), and incongruity — that lead to pain, cartilage erosion, and osteoarthritis. Early specialist intervention offers the best chance of slowing joint deterioration.
