Two cases were corrected using open reduction and radioulnar ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture. Two cases were corrected by closing radial wedge ostectomy, followed by open reduction and radioulnar UHMWPE suture. Intraoperative complications included incomplete reduction of the radial head in 1 case. No major complications were recorded. Minor complications included dystrophic mineralization at the caudal aspect of the proximal ulna in 2 cases. Full function was achieved in 3 dogs, whereas acceptable function was achieved in 1 dog at a median of 499.5 days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a5\">\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case series supports that using radioulnar UHMWPE suture, either alone or combined with a closing radial wedge ostectomy, may be an effective way to maintain humeroradial joint reduction in type 1 CEL, with encouraging functional outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.25.07.0246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,24]],"date-time":"2025-09-24T12:26:52Z","timestamp":1758716812000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The use of radioulnar ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene suture shows promise in surgical treatment of dogs with type 1 congenital elbow luxation"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"86","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6697-3073","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wye Li","family":"Chong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5541-4780","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Stefan","family":"Gouws","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8178-1993","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kieri","family":"Jermyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8339-8039","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rui","family":"Sul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5567-9637","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jacob","family":"Michelsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7428-7067","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Louisa Ho","family":"Eckart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Referral Hospital Canberra, Pialligo, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"B1","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"49","article-title":"Surgical management of lateral luxation and subluxation of the canine radial head","author":"Gurevitch R","year":"1980","unstructured":"Gurevitch R, Hohn RB.
