[4] Angular limb deformity usually occurs due to outside factors during developmental years, including blunt force trauma, unbalanced nutrition, or excessive exercise.

[5] Rarely, they can also occur from a genetic predisposition to premature growth plate closure.

[1] However, affected limbs may show lameness or joint swelling, resulting in limps of varying degree to the animal.

[6] For younger patients with significant growth potential to the affected area remaining, a surgery involving cutting the ulna to release its hold on the radius is possible; this allows the radius to straighten and grow to normal length.

[8] Depending on the procedure performed and severity of the deformity, aftercare treatment may require rest, daily monitoring of the limb, and repeat radiographs.
