STUDY DESIGN: Clinical report. ANIMALS: Male 3 year old working (English) Cocker Spaniel. METHODS: Sequential CT screening (659-day interval between analyses). RESULTS: A sagittal hypodense fissure typical of incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) was identified ∼22 months after screening CT examination documented a normal elbow joint. CONCLUSION: Even in dogs with clinical features typical of the condition most commonly termed IOHC, fissure formation and propagation can occur after ossification is complete.
