Traumatic partial elbow luxation (unilateral medial humeroulnar) was diagnosed in a 2·5‐year‐old crossbreed dog. Previous reports of traumatic elbow luxation in the dog described lateral and less frequently medial humeroradioulnar luxations. The treatment consisted of closed reduction of the affected joint under general anaesthesia. The functional outcome was excellent.
