A 4‐year‐old neutered male English springer spaniel was examined because of postoperative allodynia and non‐weight bearing right thoracic limb lameness following bilateral humeral transcondylar screw placement to manage humeral intracondylar fissure. Clinical examination demonstrated signs attributable to ulnar neuropathy. Ulnar nerve block resulted in temporary resolution of clinical signs and confirmed the diagnosis. Multi‐modal analgesia resulted in the resolution of clinical signs with all medication withdrawn by 3 months postoperatively. No recurrence was reported at a 6‐month follow‐up. To our knowledge, this is the first documented report of ulnar neuropathy following humeral transcondylar screw placement in a dog.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
