The paper depicts retrospective analysis of the conservative treatment in 10 working dogs with bicipital tenosynovitis. All dogs underwent clinical and X-ray examinations and their lameness was evaluated with 5 degree scale. All dogs were treated with ultrasound therapy protocol for 8 weeks. In 9...

Shoulder joint disorders are a major cause of forelimb lameness in dogs, and osteochondrosis, degenerative joint disease, and bicipital tenosynovitis are common joint disorders that have been reported in dogs. Many studies have investigated pain management after arthroscopy in human medicine, but...

Five dogs of varying breeds, ranging from 4 to 8 years in age, were presented with clinical signs consistent with bicipital tenosynovitis. After failure of conservative treatment, each dog underwent shoulder arthroscopy. Following examination of the scapular humeral joint, the bicipital tendon was...

The purpose of this report is to describe the T-staple tenodesis of biceps brachii in three client-owned dogs and long-term ultrasonographic follow-ups. The orthopaedic examination revealed grade 2/4 (n=2) and 3/4 (n=1) lameness, moderate pain on passive movement and positivity to the tendon biceps ...

15 dogs with bicipital tendinitis and tenosynovitis were referred to the Centre for Companion Animal Health at Massey University Veterinary Teaching Hospital between June 1997 and May 1999. Sonographic examination of the tendon and tendon sheath, and radiographic examination including positive...

Objective: To determine the clinical and pathologic findings in dogs with primary bicipital tenosynovitis. Animals: 19 dogs with 20 shoulder joints treated surgically for bicipital tenosynovitis and 8 shoulder joints from 4 clinically normal dogs. Procedure: Histologic abnormalities of tendon...

Bicipital tenosynovitis is a common cause of forelimb lameness in dogs. It typically occurs in medium-sized or large, middle-aged or older animals. A history of chronic, progressive or intermittent, moderate to severe weight-bearing lameness that is exacerbated by exercise is often reported, and in ...

Musculotendinous disorders of the shoulder are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aetiology of bicipital tenosynovitis is poorly understood but among the causes supposedly related to direct or indirect trauma leading to adhesions are inflammation, osteophyte formation along the...

Supraspinatus calcifying tendinosis is an uncommon finding in dogs. Although its radiographic appearance has been described previously, radiographs alone do not provide detailed information about the tendon parenchyma. Tendon ultrasonography has been widely applied for the diagnosis of human...
