Signalment, clinical presentation, concurrent musculoskeletal or neurological disorders, imaging findings, treatment protocols and clinical outcomes were analysed. Results were compared to published magnetic resonance imaging- and radiograph-based series.Results: Dogs were predominantly active working breeds, with Border Collies representing 33% of cases. Chronic hindlimb lameness was the principal clinical sign. Computed tomography revealed soft tissue swelling and contrast enhancement at the origin of the lateral gastrocnemius head in all cases. Proximal gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy was isolated in 42% of cases, while others had concurrent cranial cruciate ligament rupture or lumbosacral stenosis. Conservative treatment, including analgesia and physiotherapy, led to favourable outcomes in 14 of 17 followed dogs.Clinical significance: Proximal gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy is a cause of chronic lameness in athletic dogs. Computed tomography imaging, despite limitations compared to magnetic resonance imaging, provides useful diagnostic information. Early recognition of proximal gastrocnemius musculotendinopathy using computed tomography may prevent unnecessary surgical exploration of the stifle in dogs erroneously suspected of cranial cruciate ligament rupture.","PeriodicalId":51204,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147788473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of sedation/anaesthesia on the highest laxity index while using a validated force-measuring device.Ten Beagle dogs were randomly assigned to undergo stress radiographs under four different sedation/anaesthesia protocols on three separate occasions. Vital parameters, ease of procedure and laxity index were evaluated.Parameters such as temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate remained within normal ranges for all protocols. One dog experienced a seizure after dexmedetomidine and ketamine sedation (protocol C). Protocol B (dexmedetomidine/butorphanol/midazolam) and protocol A (dexmedetomidine/butorphanol) scored significantly better than protocol C (dexmedetomidine/ketamine) and D (dexmedetomidine/propofol) in various aspects of ease of the procedure. While the maximum laxity was similar between protocols A, B and D, only in protocols A and B, a plateau phase was reached. Overall, protocols A and B performed similarly; the best scores were, however, consistently allocated to protocol B.The sedation protocol dexmedetomidine, butorphanol and midazolam emerged as the most favourable sedation protocol for stress radiography of the coxofemoral joint, offering practicality and a high laxity index, without adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":51204,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147460800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
