Abstract

ABSTRACTFourteen shoulder joints in 12 dogs were treated arthroscopically for osteochondrosis. The arthroscopic procedure included removal of all osteochondral flaps and curettage of the edges of the subchondral defect. Histological examination of biopsy samples from eight joints revealed synovitis in all cases. Arthroscopic surgery of shoulder osteochondrosis in the dog proved to be a less time consuming procedure than arthrotomy with minimal soft tissue trauma and allowed a rapid return to function of the patients.
