Fractional Medial Coronoid Process (FCP) Repair

This video shows an arthroscopic repair of a Fractional Medial Coronoid Process (FCP) in a large-breed dog. The coronoid process is a term used to describe the tip of the ulna bone. The humerus fits inside this notch and articulates with the coronoid process. The part on the inner side of the coronoid process commonly becomes separated from the rest of the ulna, thus leading to the descriptive term "fragmented coronoid process." This piece of bone acts like a "pebble in the shoe" and irritates the joint and causes pain when walking. In an arthroscopic FCP repair, the fractured piece of coronoid process is removed, and then the surgeon "debrides" the area, meaning any additional damaged tissue is scraped out with a very sharp tool, leaving only healthy tissue behind.
