Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 1987 Jul;17(4):905-22. doi: 10.1016/s0195-5616(87)50084-5.

Abstract

This article discusses principles of corrective osteotomy and describes operative plans for specific growth deformities such as premature closure of the distal ulna, asynchronous growth of the radius and ulna in achondroplastic breeds, retarded growth of the distal radius, retarded growth of the proximal radius, and synostosis of the radius and ulna.
