Abstract

A 10-year-old intact female Chihuahua weighing 2 kg was presented for complaint of forelimb lameness with non-weight bearing posture. Greater tubercle was palpated medial to its normal location on palpation and crepitation was intermittent with manipulation. On radiographic examination, left medial scapulohumeral joint luxation was found. Bilateral medial patellar luxations also were found and evaluated as grade III. Surgically, the medial scapulohumeral joint luxation was reduced with transposition of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. The patient's gait became normal and non-weight bearing posture was resolved at 6 weeks postoperatively.
