Incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) was identified in two Labrador retrievers using computed tomography. Both dogs were non-weightbearing on the affected forelimbs. The dogs were treated by means of a bone screw placed across the humeral condyle. IOHC was originally reported in spaniel and chondrodystrophic breeds. The pathogenesis of the condition remains unknown, but may be related to impaired antebrachial bone growth, similarly to the pathogeneses of elbow dysplasia and radius curvus.

Coxa vara in childhood may be clinically classified as developmental, congenital, dysplastic, or traumatic and may occur at the physis or in the trochanteric or subtrochanteric area. Evaluation should include a search for a family history of similar deformity, a history of trauma or infection, and evidence of associated skeletal abnormality. Radiographs will illustrate whether the deformity is unilateral or bilateral and whether it occurs at or below the physis. With this information, coxa vara can be classified, and the optimal treatment can be selected. Surgical treatment of coxa vara in childhood is usually indicated when the disease is progressive, painful, unilateral, or associated with leg-length discrepancy.
We studied seven patients who had Kniest dysplasia. All of the patients had congenital severe myopia and vitreoretinal degeneration. Four patients developed rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Early surgery on one patient resulted in successful reattachment and 20/50 vision at a three-year follow-up visit. Other ocular findings included cataracts in two patients, dislocated lenses in one patient, and blepharoptosis in one patient.
An overview of the biology of the craniofacial complex in terms of normal and abnormal growth and remodeling. The synchronous coordination of skeletal growth in harmony with related structures demonstrate some principles which could be of value in clinical prevention and treatment.
