Summary

An acute weight-bearing lameness in the left front limb following a slight trauma happened in a male, one-year-old Boxer. Clinical and radiographic findings suggested a fractured anconeal process.

Such a fracture after mild trauma is uncommon and indicates the possibility of a disorder in the area of the growth plate between anconeal process and ulna. Therefore this case could be related to the complex of the ununited anconeal process, too.

A one-year-old Boxer sustained a fracture of the anconeal process following a mild trauma. This case might be related to the complex of the ununited anconeal process.
