“…A second limitation may be that the measurements were performed by a single investigator. The reliability between investigators has been established in both animals and humans (Cook et al, 2005;Roach and Miles, 1991). However, having a single investigator in this study may actually be considered a strength, as there is virtually no variability in technique.…”

“…A previous study in dogs with medial shoulder instability repeated more excessive angles of abduction with a mean of 53° versus that in unaffected shoulders with a mean of 32° (Cook and Renfro, 2005). However, no Border Collies were included in the study.…”

“…This leads to the potential for overdiagnosis of shoulder instability if arthroscopic findings are evaluated in the absence of supportive evidence from orthopaedic examination (Akerblom and Sjöström, 2007;Cogar et al, 2008). Increased shoulder abduction has been documented in sedated dogs affected with medial glenohumeral ligament insufficiency (Cook et al, 2005a) but the accuracy of the abduction angle test at correctly identifying dogs with shoulder instability has been subsequently questioned (Devitt et al, 2007).…”

“…Although the joint congruence is not excellent, the joint allows the forelimb to perform curves in space, permitting movements in three different planes: extensionflexion, adduction -abduction, and limited rotation, which enable locomotion (ROOS et al, 1993;COOK et al, 2005).…”

Diagnostic ultrasonography of the shoulder in dogs – scan techniques and common findings

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Determining the origin of lameness and pain in dog shoulder structures is considered a diagnostic challenge. Ultrasonography is an important diagnostic tool, capable of dynamically providing detailed information on muscle-tendon structures at a low cost. Its diagnostic accuracy for shoulder injuries is comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, the technique is still underestimated and underused in orthopedic examinations of small animals in Brazil. This study aimed to compile the literature data and explore the findings of ultrasound examinations for the diagnosis of abnormalities in the shoulder joint region of dogs. Scanning maneuvers of the tendons of the biceps brachii, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, humeral head, and brachial plexus muscles were reviewed. The normal ultrasonographic patterns and findings that characterize different illnesses in this region were described. Key words: Diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, canine, tendon ResumoA determinação da origem de claudicação e dor das estruturas do ombro de cães é considerada desafio diagnóstico. A ultrassonografia é importante ferramenta diagnóstica capaz de fornecer informações detalhadas de estruturas músculo-tedíneas, de forma dinâmica e a baixo custo. Sua acurácia diagnóstica para lesões do ombro é comparável à da ressonância magnética, no entanto, nota-se que a técnica ainda é subestimada e subutilizada na rotina ortopédica de pequenos animais no Brasil. O presente trabalho tem o intuito de compilar dados da literatura e explorar o exame ultrassonográfico para o diagnóstico de anormalidades na região da articulação do ombro em cães. Foram revisadas as manobras de varredura dos tendões dos músculos bíceps braquial, supraespinhoso, infraespinhoso, redondo menor, cabeça umeral e plexo braquial. Foram descritos os padrões ultrassonográficos normais e os achados que caracterizam diferentes enfermidades dessa região. Mistieri, M. L. de A. ; Pascon, J. P. E. ; Duarte, C. A.
