Dante Elbow CT Scan Results (Grade I - DJD Elbow Dysplasia)

[fillyone]

This is the report from the Radiologist:

The medial coronoid process of the left ulna is mildly rounded and there is a minimal amount of bony proliferative remodeling along its most medial aspect. There is no distinct fragment associated with the right medial coronoid process of the ulna; however, there is mild sclerosis of this process and a minimal to mild amount of bony proliferative remodeling along its medial margin. No other abnormalities are seen. Elbow joint appears congruent.

Conclusions: Mild bilateral medial coronoid process bony remodeling without distinct fractures.

So the plan is Glucosamine/etc and we'll x-ray again in 6 months to look for more change. If there is no change then I'll just x-ray every couple of years to keep an eye on it.
If there is change, or if he comes up lame (which we all think is not going to happen) we'll discuss options then.

The Ortho said I don't need to change anything with Dante's activities as long as he remains symptom free and of course I keep him lean on a good diet.

I hope Dante stays healthy. The idea of keeping him lean is good.
