BICIPITAL TENOSYNOVITIS IN THE DOG—EVALUATION WITH POSITIVE CONTRAST ARTHROGRAPHY

摘要: This paper describes seven dogs with traumatic bicipital tenosynovitis in which complete clinical, radiographic, and surgical evaluations were performed. All adult of medium to large breed presented a chronic front limb lameness several months' duration shoulder muscle atrophy. Survey radiographs the scapulohumeral joint showed new bone production almost exclusively region biceps tendon, i.e., intertubercular groove supraglenoid tuberosity. Arthrograms six revealed difficulty filling or irregular tendon sheath, best seen on mediolateral view shoulder. On exploration, macroscopic lesions and/or sheath observed all included adhesions, fibrosis, scar tissue, edema, thickening. Partial tear was three dogs.
