A calcified body in the joint capsule of both elbows, intimately connected with the origin of the deep digital flexor, caused bilateral forelimb lameness in an 8‐month‐old English Setter. Identical findings were made by radiography in an 11‐month‐old Labrador Retriever. The bodies were removed surgically and histological sections of them revealed bony trabeculae centrally, covered partly by hyaline cartilage and fibrous, degenerated cartilage.
