Summary An 8‐year‐old Polo pony mare was admitted for investigation of lameness related to swelling of the elbow. An intra‐articular fragment from the proximo‐medial radius was identified on radiographic examination. The fragment was removed arthroscopically under general anaesthesia via a caudo‐medial approach to the elbow joint.
