Abstract
Radial carpal bone luxation is rarely encountered in dogs. A literature review did not reveal any case of bilateral radial carpalbone luxation or its treatment. In the current case study, the process and result of the treatment of a dog with bilateral radial carpal boneluxation, brought to the İstanbul University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Surgery is presented. Treatment of luxationwas achieved by using screws and cerclage wire. The long-term follow-up of this patient was limited to only 2 months since the dog wasnot brought back to the clinic.
