Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical feasibility and efficacy of a video-assisted ligamentoplasty of the medial glenohumeral ligament for the treatment of medial shoulder joint instability in dogs.
Animals: This retrospective study included 6 dogs with medial shoulder instability treated by video-assisted ligamentoplasty of the medial glenohumeral ligament. Inclusion criteria required documented medical records containing signalment, clinical history, diagnostic imaging, surgical details, and postoperative assessments, along with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. Complications and midterm outcomes were recorded.
Clinical presentation: The 6 dogs exhibited a weight-bearing lameness, and during the orthopedic examination under sedation, an abduction angle exceeding 35° was observed.
Results: All joints were stabilized successfully. The abduction angle immediately after repair was 17.5 ± 1.2° and after 6 months 24.6 ± 1.8°. Postoperative shoulder stability was satisfactory, with excellent functional recovery in 5 dogs and good recovery in 1 dog. No complications occurred.
Clinical relevance: Video-assisted shoulder stabilization is feasible in dogs and appears to yield satisfactory clinical results. This novel technique shows promising results and encourages the development of minimally invasive techniques for an optimal patient recovery.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Veterinary Research supports the collaborative exchange of information between researchers and clinicians by publishing novel research findings that bridge the gulf between basic research and clinical practice or that help to translate laboratory research and preclinical studies to the development of clinical trials and clinical practice. The journal welcomes submission of high-quality original studies and review articles in a wide range of scientific fields, including anatomy, anesthesiology, animal welfare, behavior, epidemiology, genetics, heredity, infectious disease, molecular biology, oncology, pharmacology, pathogenic mechanisms, physiology, surgery, theriogenology, toxicology, and vaccinology. Species of interest include production animals, companion animals, equids, exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and wild and marine animals. Reports of laboratory animal studies and studies involving the use of animals as experimental models of human diseases are considered only when the study results are of demonstrable benefit to the species used in the research or to another species of veterinary interest. Other fields of interest or animals species are not necessarily excluded from consideration, but such reports must focus on novel research findings. Submitted papers must make an original and substantial contribution to the veterinary medicine knowledge base; preliminary studies are not appropriate.
