Description

In this episode of BoardsCast, we dive into one of the most classic causes of angular limb deformity in young dogs: ulnar growth arrest.

We cover:

• Why the distal ulnar physis is vulnerable to closure
• How continued radial growth creates predictable deformities
• The “radius curvus” pattern: valgus, procurvatum, and external rotation
• Diagnosis using joint orientation angles and axis mismatch
• Surgical options including ulnar ostectomy, radial osteotomy, and growth modulation
• When to intervene — and how to avoid overcorrection or joint collapse

This is the episode that connects growth plate injury, biomechanics, and surgical strategy — all in one high-yield package.
