Radiographic Monitoring of Secondary Ossification Centers of Radius and Ulna Bones in Dogs

Monitoring the Secondary ossification centers and growth plates is necessary in order to decide whether there is abnormal development of these structures. It also to provides a base line in which the development of radius and ulna bones can be compared as there is paucity of information on the development of secondary ossification centers and growth plates of Nigerian local dogs as inferences are often drawn from foreign breeds of dogs. The present study was conducted for 16 weeks to monitor the appearance of secondary ossification centers and growth plates of radius and ulna bones of 16 dogs (8 males and 8 females). Each puppy was radiographed 11 times on the right forelimb at week 1-9, 12 and 16 weeks of age. A descriptive study was conducted and radiographic images were reviewed which revealed that no secondary ossification center and growth plate was present at week 1. Therefore Nigerian Local dogs had no secondary ossification centers and growth plate of the radius and ulna bones at birth, they all develop post natal.
