OBJECTIVES

To report clinical signs, diagnostic imaging findings, and outcome in a dog with traumatic myositis ossificans of the origin of the extensor carpi radialis muscle.

STUDY DESIGN

Clinical report.

ANIMALS

An 8-month-old intact female Irish Setter Dog.

METHODS

After radiographic and computed tomographic evaluation of an osseous proliferation arising from the cranial cortex of the right distal humeral diaphysis, the protruding bone was surgically removed and evaluated by histopathology.

RESULTS

Traumatic myositis ossificans was successfully treated with surgical removal of the osseous proliferation resulting in improved postoperative range of motion of the right elbow joint. There was no evidence of lameness or abnormal bone regrowth associated with the surgical site radiographically at follow up.

CONCLUSION

Surgical removal of a traumatic myositis ossificans lesion resulted in full return to function in a young, competitive show dog.
