A Review of Lameness Attributable to the Shoulder in the Dog: Part Two

Kevin A. Kunkel, DVM and Mark C. Rochat, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS

From the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (Kunkel, Rochat), Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078-2041.

The scapulohumeral joint is a common site of forelimb lameness in the dog. Establishing a definitive diagnosis may be difficult because of the limitations of orthopedic examination and radiographs and the inherent elusiveness of the associated conditions.

The intent of this review is to present, in a single reference, the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of reported causes of lameness intrinsically associated with the shoulder. Part One of this series discusses conditions associated with cartilage and bone maturation disorders and joint instability, while Part Two reviews tendon diseases, muscle disorders, synovial diseases, and soft-tissue mineralization disorders.
