Abstrakt: This report describes a centralisation procedure for the treatment of a radial non-union, characterised by extensive bone loss and an intact ulna, in an 18-month-old toy poodle. A lateral approach to the radius/ulna shafts was realised and, after debridement of the non-union site, an ulnar osteotomy was performed proximal to the styloid process of the ulna. Transposition of the distal fragment of the radius to the distal end of the osteotomised proximal segment of the ulna was performed and the stabilisation was obtained using a locking plate with proximal screws in the ulnar shaft and distal screws in the radius epiphysis. The patient achieved bone union in 10 weeks and the last evaluation, performed 112 weeks postoperatively, showed a full return to pre-injury function. Based on the results of this report, the centralisation was effective in the treatment of post-traumatic absence of the radial shaft in a dog.
