“…5 8 9 Despite shoulder arthroscopy being the gold standard diagnostic procedure for shoulder pathology, this would be unlikely to provide any further information to the case due to inability to directly observe the transverse humeral ligament. 2…”

“…The transverse humeral ligament (retinaculum) runs from the lesser to the greater tubercle of the humerus, preventing luxation of the biceps tendon from the intertubercular groove, and it is a well-known anatomical structure in the dog and cat. 1 2 Gleason and colleagues 3 concluded that in humans this structure was not an actual ligament, but rather a sling formed mainly by fibres of the subscapularis tendon, with contributions from the supraspinatus tendon and the coracohumeral ligament. Complete ossification of the transverse humeral ligament was described in a human cadaveric study in only one specimen.…”

Osseous Metaplasia of the Transverse Humeral Ligament in a 10-Year-Old Bengal Cat

This report is of an osseous metaplasia of the transverse humeral ligament and secondary bicipital tenosynovitis in a 10-year-old Bengal cat. Computed tomography revealed the presence of an osseous bridge enclosing the bicipital groove, with ultrasonography confirming partial tear and inflammation of the bicipital tendon. Initial conservative management with intra-articular long-acting steroids failed to provide long-term improvement of clinical signs. Surgical excision of the osseous lesion resulted in complete resolution of lameness after surgery, confirmed by a 1-year follow-up. Histopathology of this lesion confirmed a well-differentiated osseous metaplasia of the transverse humeral ligament.

“…Arthroscopic surgery can offer multiple advantages over open surgery, including improved visualization of intra-articular structures, [6][7][8] decreased surgical morbidity, and decreased postoperative pain. [9][10][11] The use of arthroscopy for diagnosis or treatment of intra-articular pathology has been reported in feline elbow, 12 shoulder, 13 and stifle joints 14 but a technique for arthroscopic examination of the feline hip joint has yet to be described.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of feline diagnostic coxofemoral arthroscopy.Study designEx vivo feline cadaveric descriptive study.AnimalsSeven feline cadavers (14 hips).MethodsGross dissection of two feline hips was performed to evaluate anatomic landmarks, guide arthroscopic portal development, and determine optimal limb positioning. A 1.9 mm, 0° arthroscope, inserted through a supratrochanteric lateral portal, was used to assess intraarticular structures in 12 feline cadaver hips. Arthroscopy was followed by gross dissection of periarticular soft tissues. Relative portal locations and damage to periarticular structures were recorded. Hips were disarticulated, and an India ink assay was performed to assess whether there was iatrogenic cartilage injury (ICI).ResultsScope insertion was achieved in all hips. Articular cartilage of the femoral head and acetabulum, round ligament, joint capsule, transverse acetabular ligament, and dorsal acetabular rim were identified arthroscopically in all hips. Probe insertion and intra‐articular structure palpation was achieved in all hips. Scope and instrument portals resulted in minimal periarticular muscle trauma. No sciatic nerve damage was detected. Minor partial thickness ICI was observed in all hips at the site of scope insertion. Focal full thickness ICI was noted in one hip.ConclusionArthroscopy of the feline coxofemoral joint allowed visual and probe evaluation of intra‐articular structures without evidence of major periarticular neurovascular trauma. Iatrogenic cartilage injury occurred in all hips but severity of lesions was considered mild.Clinical significanceCoxofemoral arthroscopy is feasible in cats and can be utilized as a diagnostic tool for minimally invasive joint evaluation.

A study was performed to determine whether magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is cost-effective and reduces the need for diagnostic arthroscopy of the knee. During a 9-month period, 103 consecutive patients with knee injury that justified diagnostic arthroscopy underwent MR imaging. The MR images were interpreted by means of consensus of three radiologists and reviewed with the referring sports medicine orthopedists. After the examination, 44 patients (42.7%) underwent immediate arthroscopy. The 59 other patients (57.3%) did not undergo arthroscopy; follow-up was performed in 55 of these 59 patients (93%) at a mean of 22 months. The outcome was successful in 49 of 55 patients (89%); 40 patients had normal function and no limitation in activity, six patients with chronic injury of the anterior cruciate ligament Underwent reconstruction, and three patients underwent arthroscopy with negative findings. Without the use of MR imaging, all patients in this study would have undergone diagnostic arthroscopy. Because of the diagnoses based on MR images, 53 patients (51.4%) avoided a potentially unnecessary diagnostic arthroscopy, and, as a result, the net savings was $103,700 in the 103 patients.
